Summary: The complainant requested documents regarding the New Barnfield procurement situated within the boundaries of Hertfordshire County Council (HCC). HCC provided a significant amount of information but also withheld additional information by virtue of regulations 12(5)(e) and 12(5)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner-™s decision is that HCC has correctly relied on regulation 12(5)(b) in relation to Appendix N of the Final Business Case. HCC has also correctly relied on regulation 12(5)(e) in respect of the Final Business Case, the relevant appendices, the Contract and all relevant Schedules with the exception of Table 2 of Schedule 11. The Commissioner is unable to make a decision in this notice as regards exceptions in respect of Schedule 3 as HCC has been unable to provide a complete list of contents of all Schedule 3 information. The Commissioner requires the public authority provide the complainant with a complete list of the contents of Schedule 3 and issue a fresh response under the EIR; and to disclose the information withheld under Table 2 of Schedule 11 of the Contract.
