Summary: The complainant has requested information about allotment sites including what sites had been considered. Initially the Council refused to provide the information without citing a valid reason under the EIR and then said that it required the complainant to pay of fee of £125 for the provision of the information. Upon reviewing its decision the Council recognised that the fee it had asked for was not a reasonable fee as required by regulation 8(3) of the EIR and provided the requested information. The Commissioner-™s decision is that because Goring Parish Council did not provide the requested information within 20 working days it breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR. He also finds that the Council breached regulation 11(5)(a). He does not require the Council to take any steps.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 11 - Complaint Upheld
