Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to Croydon Council Urban Regeneration Vehicle, which is a 28 year partnership between the council and John Laing aimed at regenerating a range of key sites across Croydon. Specifically, the complainant has requested a copy of the contracts between the council and John Laing relating to this partnership. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council inappropriately relied on regulation 12(5)(e) for the majority of the remaining withheld information. In respect of one element of the withheld information the Commissioner decided that regulation 12(5)(e) does apply and that the public interest in favour of disclosure is outweighed by the public interest in favour of maintaining the exception. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0025 has been disposed of by way of a consent order.
