Summary: The complainant requested copies of forms received by the Council from members of the public regarding obstructions to a specific highway. The Council released most of the information contained within the forms but withheld, under section 40(2) of the Act, the name and address of each informant and the name and address of the landowner involved. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the information is environmental and that the Council should have responded to the request under the provisions of the EIR. The Commissioner has investigated and found that the withheld information is personal data and that disclosure would breach the first data protection principle. As such, the Commissioner considers the information to be exempt under regulation 13 of the EIR.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 13 - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld
