23 June 2015, Local government (District council)
The complainant has submitted three related requests for information to East Riding of Yorkshire Council (‘the Council’) about a planning matter. The Council refuses to comply on the basis that the requests are manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has responded correctly. The requests are manifestly unreasonable and the public interest does not favour disclosure.
EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld
