Summary: The complainant submitted a request to Hartlepool Borough Council (-the Council-) for information from environmental records held on a property in Hartlepool. The Council confirmed that it held the requested information and made this available for inspection within 20 working days. The complainant contends that whilst the Council responded within 20 working days, it did not respond -as soon as possible-. The Commissioner has investigated and has found that the Council failed to make the requested information available as soon as possible and has consequently breached regulation 5(2). He does not require the Council to take any further action.
