20 May 2015, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested details of any planning history for a specific property prior to online records. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cherwell District Council was correct to refuse to provide the information under Regulation 6(1)(b) of the EIR as the information is already publicly available and easily accessible to the complainant in another form or format. He does not require any steps to be taken to comply with the legislation.
EIR 6: Not upheld
