Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead
8 July 2015, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant made a request for information to the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead (RBWM) for copies of notes and records of a site visit at a particular property. RBWM initially refused the request under the exception in regulation 12(5)(d) of the EIR (Confidentiality of proceedings). However, during the course of the investigation RBWN overturned its decision and disclosed the information to the complainant. The Commissioner has found that RBWM breached regulation 5(2) by failing to make requested information available within 20 working days. The Commissioner also found that it breached regulations 11(4), 14(3)(b), 14(5)(b) and 11(4) in its handling of the complainant’s request but he requires no steps to be taken.
EIR 5(2): Upheld EIR 11(4): Upheld EIR 14(3)(b): Upheld EIR 14(5)(b): Upheld
