Lewisham London Borough Council
20 October 2016, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested details of land owned, including its use, by the London Borough of Lewisham (the Council). The Council identified a Non-Core Housing Asset Register as falling within the scope of the request but considered it was not obliged to provide this record under the ‘law enforcement’ (section 31(1)(a)) and ‘health and safety’ (sections 38(1)(a) and (b)) exemptions to disclosure in FOIA. The Commissioner has found that the exemptions cited by the Council are not engaged. She therefore requires the Council to disclose the Asset Register to ensure compliance with the legislation.
