Babergh District Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FER0415590 (16 January 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested to view a file and a pre-application documentation relating to a planning application. The council allowed the complainant to view the relevant file however the complainant subsequently found that documents which he considered important to his case had not been included within it at the time that he viewed and copied documents from the file. The council also failed to include the information on a CD ROM which it subsequently sent to the complainant. It did however disclose this to him after the complainant wrote again requesting the information. The Commissioner-™s decision is that Babergh District Council has breached the EIR in that it did not provide the complainant with access to all of the relevant information within 20 working days of receiving his request for information. However the Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps as the council subsequently provided the information to the complainant.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 6 - Complaint Not upheld
