Section 8 of the Act says
(3) Where a data controller has previously complied with a request made
under section 7 by an individual, the data controller is not obliged to
comply with a subsequent identical or similar request under that section by
that individual unless a reasonable interval has elapsed between compliance
with the previous request and the making of the current request.
And
(4) In determining for the purposes of subsection (3) whether requests under
section 7 are made at reasonable intervals, regard shall be had to the
nature of the data, the purpose for which the data are processed and the
frequency with which the data are altered.
So it looks like it's down to you to determine what is meant by
"reasonable". If the data is something that doesn't change much then I think
you would be within your rights not to disclose.

Subject: Repeated request
We have received a second SAR from a data subject. This is the second this
year and they are requesting us to search the same areas we searched
before. We have written to them saying that we will supply any additional
data since the last request.
Does anyone have any views on this ?
