North East Lincolnshire Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FER0326629 (26 October 2010)
Summary: The complainant submitted a request to North East Lincolnshire Borough Council (-˜the Council-™) for information from environmental records held on a property in Immingham. The complainant specified that he wished to view the records in person. The Council agreed that the complainant could inspect the requested information but that a charge would be levied for this. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council has breached regulation 5(1) as it failed to make information available on request, and regulation 5(2) as it failed to make it available within the statutory time for compliance. The Council has also breached regulation 8(2)(b) by attempting to impose a charge to allow the complainant to inspect environmental information. The Commissioner requires the Council to allow the complainant to inspect the requested information free of charge. These steps must be taken within 35 calendar days.
