Department for Communities and Local Government
The complainant has asked the Department for Communities and Local Government (“the DCLG”) for information contained in Continuous Recording of Social Housing Lettings and Sales (“CORE”) database, including details of the local authorities where the properties located. The Commissioner has established that the information contained in the CORE database, to the level required by the complainant, is normally made available to the public under special licence for non-commercial purposes. The DCLG determined that the complainant would be unable to obtain a special licence enabling her to access the information she seeks and therefore it has refused her request in reliance on section 40(2) and 41(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that Department for Communities and Local Government has correctly applied section 40(2) to the contents of the CORE database. She has not found it necessary to consider the DCLG’s additional application of section 41(1).
