Shropshire Council

The complainant has requested copies of communications relating to two planning applications for a nearby property. Shropshire Council (‘the Council’) disclosed all the information it said it held, with minor redactions for personal data. The complainant disagreed with the redactions and he also thought that the Council held more information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the redacted information was personal data, which the Council was entitled to withhold under regulation 13(1) of the EIR. He also decided, on the balance of probabilities, that the Council held no further information. However, the Council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to comply with the request within 20 working days of receipt. The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision.

EIR 13(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 203977
