Shropshire County Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FER0452021 (13 December 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested information relating to the Dorrington Village Green application. Shropshire Council (the Council) explained that some of the requested information was not held so was exempt under regulation 12(4)(a) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR). It said that some of the requested information was held however it refused to provide this information under regulation 12(4)(e) EIR which relates to internal communications. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council correctly applied regulation 12(4)(a) EIR as some of the requested information is not held. The Commissioner does not however consider that regulation 12(4)(e) EIR is engaged in this case as the information it has been applied to could not be classed as internal communications. The Commissioner does however consider that some of the information to which regulation 12(4)(e) has been applied is the complainant-™s own personal data. This has been identified in the -˜Scope-™ section of this Notice. This information is not therefore covered by this Notice under regulation 5(3) EIR and is not subject to the steps below. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information to which regulation 12(4)(e) has been applied which is the information requested at point 2 of the request.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 12.4.a - Complaint Not upheld, EIR 12.4.e - Complaint Upheld
