Wealden District Council

The complainant requested information from Wealden District Council (“the Council”) about the public objections and comments regarding a particular planning application. The Council refused to provide the requested information citing regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR (manifestly unreasonable). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Council breached regulation 14(3) of the EIR as it incorrectly issued its refusal under FOIA and not the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.

EIR 9: Complaint not upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld EIR 14(3): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 165447
