Bradford Metropolitan District Council (Decision Notice) [2011] UKICO FS50296835 (31 January 2011)
Summary: The complainant requested copies of all correspondence between the council and a developer, Westfield, regarding a city centre development in Bradford during the last twelve months. The council provided some information but withheld one document on the basis that section 43 of the Act applied. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the information is environmental information and that the council should have considered the information under the Regulations. The council stated that the information should therefore be exempt under Regulation 12(5)(e). The Commissioners decision is that Regulation 12(5)(e) is engaged however the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs that of maintaining the exception. He therefore finds the public authority in breach of Regulations 5(1), 5(2) and 14(3). Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0056 withdrawn.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 12.5.e - Complaint Upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld
