The complainant has requested building permission for a specified address from Ascham Homes, which is an Arm’s Length Management Organisation (“an ALMO”) that manages housing stock owned by the London Borough of Waltham Forest (“the council”). The ALMO responded that the information was not held, which the complainant subsequently contested. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities the ALMO does not hold the requested information. However, in failing to provide a response within the time for compliance, the ALMO breached section 10(1). The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2015/0082 dismissed.
