A list of frequently asked questions FAQ/FOI's that Assets and Properties have recieved are available below - 

 

Request: 17311       Received: 29/09/2025

According to council documents, the SIC has sold 1100ha of land since 2021.

Please you provide a list of those land sales, including for each sale: the date of sale, the area of the land and its location, the area of peat bog within the parcel sold (as determined using Corine land cover data, or otherwise) and whether the land was bought by its existing tenant exercising right to buy or sold voluntarily.

Thank you for your email to clarify all crofting tenants purchases were through the "Right to Buy".

I am unable to give an accurate measurement of peatbog within the areas of land sold as in many cases the crofter was purchasing their inby and apportionment land together so we do not hold this information.

Sold Assets: https://www.shetland.gov.uk/downloads/file/7156/sold-assets

To answer about the peat bog we don’t hold this information.  Discussions were held at a recent council meeting where reference was made to the inclusion of land in the emissions data, and to the emissions reduction being due to land being sold and clarity was sought on the reasons for the land being sold.  It was advised that exclusively crofting tenants had been exercising their right to buy land.  It was suggested that further work could be done to understand whether there had been a surge or a gradual process for tenants to choose to become owner occupiers.

Request: 16772       Received: 06/06/2025

I request some information about the museum store that is currently held in Staney Hill, but which is being relocated.

1) Is there an inventory of what is kept in the store? If so, could I please receive a digital copy of it?

At present the inventory of all museum items is held in a system and format that cannot be extracted or published.   In this regard we are unable to provide you with a copy of the inventory, as it would require the Council to create a manual system to extract data, analyse the data for items held in different locations or with different ownership, disclosure and property rights, then to put it into a separate inventory for the store, and in a reportable format.  In this regard, the information you have sought is information not held under Section 17 of FOISA.

 

To assist, the Shetland Amenity Trust (SAT) website has a general description of all items held, and you can contact the SAT if you are looking for anything in particular Museum Collections | Shetland Museum & Archives.  Regarding the Staney Hill store particularly, a general description, as reported in the press, is that there are approximately 185,000 items, ranging from archaeological artefacts to old clothes.  The Museum’s Collections Policy was also considered by the Council in November 2023, and can be viewed on our website here https://coins.shetland.gov.uk/submissiondocuments.asp?submissionid=29650. 

Information is recorded in the minute about the capacity issues and the fact that 98% of the collection was held in the store at that time, which has not been verified as still being the case, and there is recorded information in the policy about the type of artefacts held. 

 

2) I understand an options appraisal was carried out into where the store could be relocated. Would it be possible to receive a copy of the options appraisal?

The process of an options appraisal is ongoing and no final options appraisal has been published, as no decision has yet been sought or taken on possible relocation sites.   In this regard, the information you have sought is information not held under Section 17 of FOISA.

Request: 15917       Received: 14/10/2024

1. What is the value and number of the council assets that have been sold in each year since and including 2010 up to and including the part year of 2024.   Can you respond on the number of assets for each individual year and part year and also for each year the total sell off price of the assets.  If the sell of price is not available, what the value of the assets was.

2. What was the highest value asset that was sold in each of the years and part-year.

3. How many council assets have been put up for sale in each year since 2019, including this year.  And what are their total value.

4.  How many council assets are currently for sale or anticipated to be sold within the next five years.

Please see link “Property Schedules – Shetland Islands Council“ to our sold assets 2013 to 2024 which mostly answers your questions.

For question 4, one asset is for sale currently and potentially four more assets over the next 5 years.

For the years 2010 to 2012 I must advise you that this is information which the Council has contained within various project files in various locations across a number of systems and offices that collect the information in different ways prior to the property schedule being produced.  Therefore having considered the time that it would take for staff to locate and provide the information you have requested, it is considered that this would be over the statutory threshold of £600.  Given the current workload of those staff, it would be impractical for the Council to spend time in providing you with the level of detail you have asked for, and to do so would not be the best use of the Council’s resources.    

In this regard the Council is refusing to provide you with this information in terms of Section 12 of the FOISA in terms of the excessive cost of compliance.

Request: 15769       Received: 23/08/2024

Please could I request some information on the recent advertised sale/lease of 107 Commercial Street, Lerwick (Tourist Office).

Please could you tell me how many applications of interest were submitted? 

I can advise that three responses were received by the return date of 15 August 2024.

However, in relation to your remaining questions:

Please could you tell me how many of these were for lease and how many to buy? 

What was the highest purchase price? What was the lowest purchase prices? 

What was the highest lease offer? What was the lowest lease offer? 

For each of the applications, if possible, please give a brief description of the intended use? 

I have to advise that this pertains to information that is exempt from disclosure and will not be released by the Council, for the following reasons under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002:

Section 30(b)- free and frank provision of advice or exchange of views

This exemption applies because disclosure would, or would be likely to, inhibit substantially the free and frank exchange of views for the purposes of deliberation. This exemption recognises the need for Councillors to discuss and explore options and advice before the Council reaches a settled public view, and because these discussions are still ongoing and decisions have not been taken.   

Section 33: Commercial interests and the economy

An exemption under 33(1)(b) of FOISA (Commercial Interests) applies to all of the information requested as disclosure would (or would be likely to) prejudice substantially the commercial interests of any person or organisation (section 33(1)(b)), namely the Council and any organisations or persons who submitted responses.

These exemptions are subject to the ‘public interest test’. Therefore, taking account of all the circumstances, we have considered if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption. We have found that, on balance, the public interest lies in favour of upholding the exemption. We recognise that there is a public interest in disclosing information as part of open, transparent and accountable local government, and to inform public debate. However, there is a greater public interest in allowing Councillors and their advisers a private space within which to explore options and advice, and if necessary to refine the Council’s position on the issues to which this advice relates. This private thinking space is essential to enable all options to be properly considered, so that good decisions can be taken. Premature disclosure is likely to undermine the full and frank discussion of issues between Council, officials and its advisers, as well as any third parties who are engaging in negotiation or legal processes with the Council, and which in turn will undermine the quality of the decision making process, which would not be in the public interest.

Section 36(2) – Actionable breach of confidence

An exemption under section 36(2) of FOISA (actionable breach of confidence) applies to all of the remaining information requested and disclosure would constitute an actionable breach of confidence. This is because the information in relation to any submitted bids is confidential and provided in circumstances which impose an obligation on the Council to maintain that confidentiality.  Unauthorised disclosure would be to the detriment of the organisation or person who provided information, and to the Council.   

This exemption is not subject to the ‘public interest test’, so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exemption.

Request: 15385       Received: 28/04/2024

I would like to make an FOI request for all payments made to suppliers/consultants who provided quantity surveying services to Shetland Islands Council from April 2018 to April 2024. As a minimum, please include the date, value, recipient of each payment, the project/works which each payment relates to, the SIC department making the payment, and how the services were procured.

I can advise you in terms of Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 [FOISA], this is not recorded information held by the Shetland Islands Council and to provide that information would exceed £600, which means that the Council does not have to carry out the work required to extract the information requested from records held. 

To explain, from April 2018 to April 2024 (6 years) there were payments made by Shetland Islands Council which will have included an element of quantity surveying services.  These payments range across many different projects, some of which may clearly identify the provision of quantity surveying services and others where the provision of that service may not be clear and contained within a wider description of the works carried out on behalf of the Council required.  To provide you with figures that relate only to the payments made for quantity surveying services would require a manual check of individual contracts and invoices paid over the period requested.  To do that manual check would exceed 40 hours and therefore cost in excess of £600.

I would like to know how much money in contracts from the council has been given to the following companies since July 2017: Kingspan and Rydon.

Following the Grenfell fire how many council tower blocks (over 18 meters high) were identified as having flammable cladding (likely made from aluminium composite material).

How many of these high rises still have flammable cladding?

How many other council-owned buildings, under 18m, currently have flammable cladding? I would like this broken down into building type - school, hospital etc

I can confirm it’s a nil response from Shetland Islands Council.
