Guildford Borough Council
The complainant submitted two requests relating to specific planning matters. Guildford Borough Council (the “Council”) disclosed information. The complainant has raised concerns that the Council has not disclosed all the relevant information that it holds. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council’s responses to the requests fail to convincingly confirm that all relevant information held has been disclosed and do not comply with the requirement for a public authority that holds environmental information to make it available on request and that the Council has, therefore, breached regulation 5(1) of the EIR. The Commissioner requires the Council to, in relation to each of the two requests, issue fresh responses which identify and disclose information falling within the scope of the request and/or issue a fresh refusal notice under regulation 14 indicating the exceptions under the EIR the council is relying on to withhold information / confirm that information is not held.
EIR 5(1):
Complaint upheld
Decision notice: 295317
