Horsham District Council
25 July 2016, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information relating to various planning applications which were approved by Horsham District Council. Most of the information sought by the complainant is available to him via the Council’s planning portal or has been provided to him. A small amount of information, comprised of an email and legal advice, has been withheld from the complainant on the grounds that legal professional privilege attaches to it. The Council has therefore applied the exception to disclosure provided by Regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that Horsham District Council has properly applied Regulation 12(5)(b) to the information it is withholding. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take no further action in this matter.
EIR 12(5)(b): Not upheld
