Hillingdon London Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FS50500814 (04 September 2013)
Summary: The complainant made a number of requests for information associated with a planning application. The London Borough of Hillingdon (the -˜Council-™) disclosed some of the information requested. In relation to the remainder of the requests, it stated either that the information was reasonably accessible by other means (section 21 of FOIA), or that no further information was held relevant to the request. The complainant asked for an internal review which has not been carried out. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the Council did not deal with the request for information in accordance with the EIR in that it did not apply the correct legislation when handling the request. It also failed to carry out an internal review. He therefore requires the Council to reconsider the requests of 5 February 2013, together with the additional requests sent on 9 March 2013, under the EIR and send a fresh response to the complainant.
