Summary: The complainant has requested information from Newark and Sherwood District Council (-the council-) that relates to planning applications made for an area of land. The council refused to comply with the request as it considered it to be vexatious and repeated under section 14(1) and 14(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (-the FOIA-). The Commissioner-s decision is that the council has correctly refused the request on the grounds that it is vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA, but should also have cited regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations (-the EIR-). He requires no steps to be taken by the council.
