Hounslow London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50459114 (07 January 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested information from the London Borough of Hounslow (-the council-) regarding council plans to deal with the problem of dwellings in gardens. The council withheld the information using section 36 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-), the exemption relating to prejudice to the effective conduct of public affairs. However during the Commissioner-s investigation the council decided that it was able to disclose the information because of the passage of time. The Commissioner-s decision is that the council breached section 10(1) of the FOIA because of the late response. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 10 - Complaint Upheld
