23 July 2015, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information relating to a Planning Policy Task Group. West Berkshire District Council disclosed some information but withheld other information (meeting minutes) under the exception for internal communications (regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR). The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(e) to withhold the meeting minutes requested in part 4 of the request. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
EIR 12(4)(e): Not upheld
