The complainant has requested information about the ICO’s premises in Cheshire. The ICO refused to comply with the request under section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) and so far as the requested information is environmental information, under regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR), as it considered it to be vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the ICO has correctly applied section 14(1) FOIA and regulation 12(4)(b) EIR. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
FOI 14: Not upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld
