The complainant has requested an independent report prepared by an agent regarding work which was carried out on a property by Eastbourne Homes, together with the actions of other parties (including council staff) who were involved in this process. The council applied section 41 (information provided in confidence) to the report however it did disclose the recommendations from the report to the complainant together with an action plan as to how it intended to address the recommendations. The Commissioner’s decision is that council has correctly applied section 41 to the information. The Commissioner does not require Eastbourne Homes Limited to take any steps.
FOI 41: Not upheld
