Planning Inspectorate
5 January 2015, Central government
The complainant has requested information with regards to the Planning Inspectorates Exceptional Achievement Scheme (EAS). The Planning Inspectorate initially responded refusing the request under section 40 of the FOIA. Following an internal review, it advised that it did not hold information to some of the request, some information was already available and the remaining was being withheld under section 40 of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigations, the Planning Inspectorate confirmed it was relying on section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the information it has. The complainant was not satisfied with the Planning Inspectorate withholding the information under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Planning Inspectorate was correct to rely on section 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the information it has. The Commissioner does not require the Planning Inspectorate to take any steps.
FOI 40: Not upheld
