Mark Heap District Auditor (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FER0265816 (01 December 2010)
Summary: The complainant requested from a District Auditor information generated by his (i.e. the District Auditor) audit of the sale of a golf course from a local authority to a third party. The District Auditor (a public authority for the purposes of the Environmental Information Regulations but not the Freedom of Information Act) relied on regulations 12(3), (4)(e),(5)(e) and (d) to withhold information. On reading the withheld information the Commissioner decided that, but for a minority of it, it was not environmental information and therefore it could not be considered further by the Commissioner. As to the minority of information that was environmental information the District Auditor had correctly applied regulation 12(5)(d) and therefore had rightly withheld it.
