Information Commissioner's Office

Summary: The complainant submitted a series of requests to the public authority which were mainly focused on housing issues relating to the -�Edmonton Partnership Initiative-� regeneration project and as a consequence of the responses received made several complaints to the Information Commissioner (-�the Commissioner-�). On 19 and 22 August 2006 the complainant requested information relating to the size of the play area and liability for communal areas. The complainant alleged that the public authority failed to respond to this request. Following intervention by the Commissioner, the public authority confirmed that it did not hold the information requested; a position which the Commissioner upheld. The Commissioner investigated and found that the public authority breached the Environmental Information Regulations 14(3)(a) and 14(2) for not initially informing the complainant that no information was held but does not require the public authority to take any action. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2009/0040 withdrawn.
