The complainant has requested information relating to Kent County Council’s (the council) disposal of land to Tesco in the Lowfield Street area of Dartford. The council applied regulation 12(5)(e), Regulation 12(4)(e) and Regulation 13(1) to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly applied Regulation 13(1) to the information. She has also decided that the council was correct to apply Regulation 12(5)(e) to the information, and that the public interest rests in the exception being maintained for this information. She has also decided that the council was correct to apply Regulation 12(4)(e) to withhold information, however the public interest in the disclosure of some of this information outweighs that in the exception being maintained.
