Darlington Borough Council
4 October 2016, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested pre-application advice in relation to a proposed housing development. Darlington Borough Council refused the request, withholding the information under the exception for interests of the information provider – regulation 12(5)(f) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that Darlington Borough Council has correctly applied regulation 12(5)(f) to withhold the requested information and that the public interest favours maintaining the exception. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
EIR 12(5)(f): Not upheld
