Quotation (verbatim): “The information you have requested was the subject of a previous request submitted by you under reference (ATISN 27021), to which Welsh Government has already responded, including undertaking an internal review.” “Following a review of your latest request, we are satisfied that it is substantially similar to the earlier request and that no new information has been generated or become available since our previous response.” “Accordingly, Welsh Government is refusing your request under section 14(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, which provides that a public authority is not obliged to comply with a request if it is a repeated request made by the same person, where it is substantially similar to a previous request and a reasonable interval has not elapsed.”
Review route: The letter names the Information Commissioner (“You have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner.”). It does not mention an internal review. It links the published ATISN 27021 release and its internal-review outcome (“FOI release 27021: Great House Farm | GOV.WALES”).
Fits with: ATISN 27589 asked for any consideration of listing, spot-listing or emergency listing between 1 July and 31 December 1988, any inspection or note of the building or its demolition in that period, and any transfer or disposal of those files (Cadw acknowledgement of 1 Oct 2026, register R04).
Cuts against: Cadw’s position is that the substance was already answered under ATISN 27021 and reviewed, and that no new information has been generated or become available since.
Proves: On 19 Oct 2026 Cadw refused ATISN 27589 under FOIA section 14(2), treating it as substantially similar to ATISN 27021.
Does not prove: What Cadw holds, or held, about listing consideration in July–December 1988. The refusal is procedural and makes no finding on the records themselves.
