Gloucester City Council
21 April 2015, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested copies of emails and correspondence between the planning department and a councillor with regards to the councillor’s planning application. Gloucester City Council (the council) refused the information under regulation 13 of the EIR as it considered the information was the personal data of the councillor. In its internal review, the council also considered that regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR was engaged to the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to withhold the requested information under regulation 13 and so did not go on to consider regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
EIR 13: Not upheld
