Aylesbury Vale District Council
16 June 2016, Local government (District council)
The complainant has made a request to Aylesbury Vale District Council (“the council”) for information about legal advice received in respect of local ‘Neighbourhood Development Plans’. The council refused the request under regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations (“the EIR”).The Commissioner finds that the council has correctly refused the request under regulation 12(4)(b). However he has identified that the council breached regulation 5(1) by failing to consider the request under the EIR, and consequently also breached regulation 14 by failing to issue an EIR refusal notice. He does not require any steps to be taken.
EIR 5(1): Upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld EIR 14: Upheld
