Hackney London Borough Council
5 May 2015, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested the council to disclose a list of the prices paid for properties bought back by the council for the Woodberry Down regeneration project. The council initially applied section 12 of the FOIA to this request. This was later withdrawn when the complainant requested information to be supplied within the cost limit. The council responded again and released some information to the complainant. The council advised the complainant that it had withheld the outbound part of each postcode, as it considered this information was exempt from disclosure under section 40 of the FOIA. The Commissioner has reviewed the case and he is satisfied that section 40 of the FOIA applies to the remaining withheld information. As a result, the Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.
FOI 40: Not upheld
