9 July 2014, Central government
The complainant requested information relating to a planning application which the Secretary of State at the DCLG decided not to ‘call in’. The complainant requested a copy of the report submitted to the Secretary of State advising him on the matters to be considered. The DCLG refused the request on the grounds that Regulation 12(4)(e) was applicable. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DCLG has correctly applied the exception to the information. The Commissioner does not require the DCLG to take any steps.
EIR 12(4)(e): Not upheld
