Department for Education (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50479368 (23 April 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested information about the disposal of playing fields at Elliot School in Putney which has recently been renamed Ark Academy Putney. The Department for Education (DfE) refused to provide the requested information to the complainant as it stated it was exempt from disclosure under section 36(2)(b)(i) and (ii) and section 36(2)(c) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). The Commissioner considers that the requested information is environmental information and therefore the request should have been dealt with under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIRs). The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Respond to the request in accordance with the EIRs. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
