Bristol City Council
9 July 2015, Local government (City council)
The complainant requested information from Bristol City Council (“the council”) relating to planning matters. The council said that the information was already available on its website. It subsequently cited the exemption under section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the FOIA”) and said that some of the information requested was not held. The Information Commissioner (“the Commissioner”) decided that the requests should have been considered under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (“the EIR”). The Commissioner found that information had been made available on the council’s website and that there was no further information falling within the scope of the requests. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
EIR 5(1): Not upheld
