The complainant has requested access to databases listing properties at risk of low water pressure (DG2) and properties at risk of internal sewer flooding (DG5). Yorkshire Water Ltd applied the exception at regulation 13(1) EIR to the DG2 and DG5. The Commissioner’s decision is that Yorkshire Water Ltd has correctly withheld the requested information under the exception for personal data at regulation 13. It did not however provide its response within the statutory time for compliance, it therefore breached regulation 5(2) EIR. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
EIR 5(2): Upheld EIR 13: Upheld
