Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please provide the following information regarding Rural Rate Relief. For the financial years 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26 (where available), please provide:

1. A list of businesses in your local authority that received rural rates relief in each year
• The individual rateable values of these businesses in that year
• The category of each eligible business (general store, food shop, post office, public house, or petrol station)
• If possible, also provide the number of businesses whose rateable values were increased between financial years so that they exceeded the threshold of eligibility for business rates relief
We don’t have any rural rate relief accounts on NNDR so the answer is no cases.

2. If this would exceed the cost limit, or be otherwise impossible to release under the Act, please instead provide the following:
• The number of businesses that received rural rates relief in each specified year
• A breakdown of how many of these businesses were general stores, food shops, post offices, public houses, or petrol stations
• The number of businesses that became ineligible for RRR because their rateable value had risen above the threshold of eligibility
