Summary: The complainant submitted a request to the London Borough of Harrow Council (-˜the Council-™) for information from environmental records held on a property in Middlesex. The Council refused to provide the information in the complainant-™s preferred format of inspection, and stated that a charge would be levied to cover the costs of compiling the information into an alternative format. During the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation, the Council confirmed that it did not in fact hold any information relevant to the complainant-™s request. The Commissioner has found that the Council has breached regulation 14(2) in failing to issue a refusal notice within the statutory time for compliance, and regulation 14(3)(a) in failing to cite the specific exception it relied upon in not disclosing the information requested. It has also breached regulation 14(5)(a) by failing to inform the complainant of his right to request an internal review and regulation 14(5)(b) by failing to inform the complainant of the appeal and enforcement provisions of the Act. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further action.
