The complainant has requested recorded information which relates to Planning Application 12/P1058 and related applications, in particular to the Secretary of State’s decision to revoke a planning permission to expand Dundonald Primary School, Wimbledon. The DCLG initially withheld some information from the complainant in reliance on Regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR. Following the Commissioner’s intervention, the DCLG decided to disclose to the complainant all of the information it had previously withheld. The Commissioner’s decision is that the DCLG has complied with Regulation 5(1) of the EIR by virtue of having disclosed all of the information it holds relevant to the complainant’s request. He has also decided that the DCLG has contravened Regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to disclose all of that information within the twenty day compliance period.
EIR 5(1): Not upheld EIR 5(2): Upheld
