Historic England

The complainant has requested copies of all correspondence between Historic England, Bristol City Council and Bristol Zoological Society, regarding a planning application for the former zoo car park. He also asked for notes of any meetings that had taken place between the parties. Historic England disclosed all the information it held, with redactions for personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that Historic England was entitled to apply regulation 13(1) of the EIR to withhold the personal data (ie the names and contact details of non-senior employees). However, he finds that Historic England breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to disclose all the information it held within 20 working days. It also breached regulation 11(2) of the EIR by failing to conduct an internal review within 40 working days.

EIR 13(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld EIR 11(2): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 216826
