Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council

The complainant requested information relating to the planting of trees. The Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk (the “council”) disclosed some information and withheld other information under section 12(1) (Cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit) of the FOIA. The council subsequently dropped its reliance on section 12(1). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has failed to disclose all the information requested within the statutory time limit and that it is in breach of section 10(1) and section 1(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the council to disclose the requested information to the complainant.

FOI 1(1): Complaint upheld FOI 10(1): Complaint upheld
