South Hams District Council

The complainant has requested from South Hams District Council (SHDC) information about enquiries it said it had made about the running of a local stables. In responding to the request, SHDC conflated it with an earlier request the complainant had submitted, and its response addressed only that earlier request. At internal review, SHDC said part of the current request had already been answered and it again concerned itself only with responding to the earlier request. The Commissioner’s decision is that SHDC has breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR in that it failed to provide a valid response to the request which is the subject of this complaint within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. The Commissioner requires SHDC to provide a substantive response to the request contained in the letter of 7 December 2020, under the EIR.

EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: ic-94090
