1 October 2015, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested correspondence between the council and the owner of a private airfield. The council applied Regulation 13 of the EIR to the information, and in respect of any information which was not environmental information it applied section 40(2). Both of these sections relate to the personal data of third parties. The Commissioner’s decision is that Hambleton District Council has correctly applied Regulation 13 to the information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
FOI 13: Not upheld
