Sounds like you might have a case to make an appeal to the information commissioner.I made an FOI request to see the business case for this development on 10th March 2012. On 18th July (well ouside the FOI response deadline) I was forwarded a heavily redacted copy of the Cabinet meeting minutes from April 2009. I pointed out that this was not the document requested and was told "the information provided was identified as the business case and supplied by the relevent service area". Further correspondence with the Senior Access to Information Officer has been ignored.
So, not sure whether it is a case of officer incompetence who can't actually find a document called Tipping Street Business Case or whether it's member refusal to release the information. Either way, transparency is obviously not high up the agenda on this one............unless of course they have mislaid the cigarette packet the sums were calculated on.

" Staffordshire County Council
has recently completed a new head office with biomass boiler and has set
up an independent wood fuel company to supply their building and generate
income through sales of wood chip to other local authorities in the Region.
This is now a well established business."
Shropshire Council memo
Is this boiler now working? has it ever worked?
