Warrington Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50495095 (28 November 2013)
Summary: The complainant has requested a copy of reports produced by Warrington Borough Council relating to a proposed building development in Peel Hall, Warrington. The council applied section 36 to the information, or if the Commissioner considered that the information was environmental information, that Regulation 12(4)(e) applied. The council also applied Regulation 13 to personal data in the information if Regulation 12(4)(e) did not apply. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the council was not correct to apply section 36 of the FoIA as the information is environmental information. He has also decided that the council was not correct to apply Regulation 12(4)(e). Although the exception was engaged, the public interest rests in the information being disclosed. The Commissioner considers that as regards the application of Regulation 13, it would be unfair to disclose information relating to employees of Satnam. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information not covered by Regulation 13 (above) to the complainant.
