Herefordshire Council
26 January 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested a copy of a report from 2014 looking into the council’s options on its smallholdings policies. The council withheld sections of the report applying Regulation 12(5)(e) and Regulation 13. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has incorrectly applied Regulation 12(5)(e) to some of the information which it withheld. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. To disclose Section 15 of the report, other than the last sentence of section 15(1)(f), and other than section 15(2). To disclose the first paragraph in section 16, redacting the list of the identities of the smallholdings/areas concerned and the recommendation for that area, and redacting the valuation data which ends each of the paragraphs (a)-(c).
EIR 12(5)(e): Partly upheld
