Horsham District Council

The complainant requested correspondence between Horsham District Council (the “council”) and specific individuals relating to a planning matter. The council refused to provide the information, citing the exceptions in regulation 12(5)(f) (interests of the person who provided the information to the public authority) and regulation 13 (personal information) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is entitled to withhold information on the basis of regulation 13 of the EIR but that it did not respond to the request in time and breached regulation 5(2). The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.

EIR 13(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 167685
