Swansea Council

The complainant requested various pieces of information about a piece of land referenced within four specific planning applications. Swansea Council (‘the Council’) stated that all planning information was available on its planning portal and no additional information was held. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Council located additional information relevant to the request, which it disclosed. The Commissioner has determined that some of the information requested constitutes the complainant’s own personal data and is therefore exempt under regulation 5(3) of the EIR. The Commissioner has also determined that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold any additional information relevant to the request. However, she finds that the Council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR in failing to provide the requested information within the required timescale. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be take.

EIR 5(3): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld
