Bromley London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FER0391820 (04 October 2011)
Summary: The complainant made a request to the London Borough of Bromley (-˜the council-™) for information from environmental records held on a property. The complainant specified that he wished to inspect this information. The council agreed that the complainant could inspect some of the information but refused to provide other parts unless a fee was paid. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council has failed to comply with regulations 5(1) and 5(2) as it has not made the requested information available within the statutory time for compliance. He also finds that the council is not entitled to withhold the requested information under the exceptions at regulations 12(4)(d), 12(5)(b), nor 12(5)(c). The Commissioner also finds that the council is not entitled to levy a charge for the requested information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to make the requested information available to the complainant for inspection free of charge.
