24 August 2015, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested contact and correspondence information from Tewkesbury Borough Council (“TBC”) relating to a supermarket car park. TBC refused this citing Regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR as its basis for doing so. It upheld this at internal review. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information is exempt by virtue of Regulation 5(3) because it is the complainant’s personal data. No steps are required under the EIR.
EIR 5(3): Not upheld EIR 12(4)(e): Not upheld
