Summary: The complainant requested all information that Brighton and Hove City Council (the Council) held about pre-planning discussions with City College Brighton and Hove regarding its proposals to develop the site known as -˜Pelham Street-™. The Council refused to disclose the information on the basis that it was all exempt from disclosure on the basis of regulation 12(5)(f) of the EIR, (interests of the provider), and further that some of the information was also exempt from disclosure on the basis of regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR, (internal communications). The Commissioner has concluded that some of the information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of regulation 12(4)(e).
