12 May 2015, Local government (County council)
The complainant requested the figures for complaints received and enforcement action taken in the 2013-14 year with regards to the development/ altering of land referred to as the Service Strip. Nottinghamshire County council (the council) initial advised that it did not hold the information but following its internal review amended its initial response instead relying on section 12 of the FOIA to refuse the request as it considered to provide the information would take over 2.5 days, exceeding the ‘appropriate limit’. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly relied on section 12 of the FOIA to refuse the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
FOI 12: Not upheld
