Haringey London Borough Council
16 June 2016, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested from Haringey Council a Comprehensive housing options appraisal for the Noel Park estate, prepared in 2015 by Homes for Haringey. Haringey Council confirmed it held the requested information but stated it was withholding it in its entirety under sections 36(2), 40(2) and 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is environmental within the meaning of the EIR and therefore should have been handled by Haringey Council under this legislative regime rather than FOIA. The Commissioner requires Haringey Council to reconsider and respond to the complainant’s request dated 26 October 2015 under the EIR.
EIR 2(1): Upheld
