16 June 2016, Local government (District council)
The complainant has made a request to South Gloucestershire Council (“the council”) for information about a specific planning application. The council disclosed information in response and also withheld some under the exception provided by regulation 12(5)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations (“the EIR”). The complainant contested the council’s application of the exception and whether all relevant information had otherwise been disclosed. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly applied regulation 12(5)(b), and that no further relevant information is likely to be held. However the council failed to provide its refusal notice within 20 working days following the date of receipt of the request and therefore breached regulation 14(2). He does not require any steps to be taken.
EIR 12(5)(b): Not upheld EIR 14(2): Upheld
