Westminster City Council
16 March 2016, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested a full copy of a viability report in relation to a planning application regarding a development site in London. The Council disclosed this report, however it redacted some information from it (“the withheld information.”) citing regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR as a basis for non-disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the exception as set out in the above regulation is engaged, however the public interest in all the circumstances of the case favours disclosure of the withheld information. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose the withheld information to the complainant.
EIR 12(5)(e): Upheld
