South Somerset District Council
The complainant requested information from the Council about planning applications for homeless housing provision. By the date of this notice the Council had failed to provide a substantive response to this request. The Commissioner considers some parts of the request to fall under the EIR and some parts under the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Home Office has breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR and section 10(1) of the FOIA in that it failed to provide a valid response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. The Commissioner requires the Council to provide a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under the EIR and the FOIA. The Council must take this step within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
