Chelmsford Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50426059 (10 July 2012)
Summary: The complainant requested information relating to internal reviews for Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) requests, and charges levied under the EIR by Chelmsford City Council (the council). The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council did not deal with the request for information in accordance with the FOIA as it failed to provide a response to the request within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. After the intervention of the Commissioner, a response was provided. Therefore, the Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Additionally, the council breached its obligation under section 16(1) of the FOIA to offer reasonable advice and assistance. However, in view of the later provision of the information, the Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld, FOI 16 - Complaint Upheld
