14 September 2016, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested emails between specific Councillors and a specific individual in relation to the Horsham District Planning Framework and a letter in a local newspaper. Horsham District Council initially stated that it does not hold the requested emails for the purposes of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, Horsham District Council does not hold the requested information. He does not require any steps to be taken to ensure compliance with the legislation.
EIR 5: Not upheld
