The complainant requested a draft report and any amendments made to it by a clerk at the London Borough of Bromley in relation to a planning application. The London Borough of Bromley disclosed an early version of the draft report but claimed not to hold any further information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the London Borough of Bromley has disclosed all the information it holds within the scope of the complainant’s request based on a balance of probabilities. The Commissioner does however find that the London Borough of Bromley has breached Regulation 5 of the EIR but does not require it to take any steps.
