Natural England (Decision Notice) [2014] UKICO FER0499367 (06 January 2014)
Summary: The complainant has requested information about an Environmental Stewardship Agreement regarding the granting of European funds to a local farmer and landowner. Natural England provided the complainant with the agreement but redacted some information including the name of the beneficiary of the grant and the related payment details under regulation 12(3) of the EIR. The complainant has argued that this name and the amount of the grant should be provided to him but Natural England considers the information to be the personal data of the individual concerned. The Commissioner-™s decision is that Natural England has correctly applied regulation 12(3) of the EIR to the withheld information. He requires no further steps to be taken.
