Our response to your request is as follows:

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance Manx National Heritage does not hold, or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find the information that you have requested.

The request is for a copy of a dataset map on the GIS dataset which MNH does not own or manage.

However, you may wish to contact the GTS MannGIS team at the Cabinet Office, who may be able to help you.

Should you have any queries concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please quote the reference number 5087385 in any future communications.
