Summary: The complainant submitted a request to the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland (-the DOE-) under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (-EIR-) for information contained in a specified Planning Enforcement file. The DOE provided the complainant with some of the requested information but withheld the remainder citing regulation 13(1) of the EIR (personal data of third parties). The Commissioner finds that the DOE has correctly applied the exception under regulation 13(1) of the EIR to the information which it withheld. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0235 dismissed.
