Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority
The complainant has requested information about a complaint that was made to the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA) regarding the siting of a domestic oil tank. The YDNPA initially withheld all the information captured by the request under the exceptions provided by regulation 12(5)(d) – confidentiality of proceedings, and regulation 12(5)(f) – voluntary supply of information. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the YDNPA disclosed a significant proportion of the information and explained that some of the remaining information consisted of correspondence between itself and the complainant (i.e. the person making the request and subsequent complaint about the handling of his request). The complainant has confirmed that he is not interested in accessing copies of his own correspondence. The other information which the YDNPA continued to withhold comprises of correspondence between itself and the informant, (i.e. the individual who complained about the siting of the oil tank). The YDNPA continued to withhold this information under the exceptions provided by regulations 12(5)(d) and (f). The Commissioner’s decision is that YDNPA is entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(d) to withhold the correspondence between itself and the informant. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further action in this matter.
