15 August 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant submitted a request to the London Borough of Lambeth (the Council) for copies of financial viability reports in relation to the redevelopment of the Central Hill estate. The Council provided some of the information but sought to hold the remainder on the basis of regulation 12(5)(e) (commercial confidentiality). The Commissioner has concluded that some of the redacted information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of regulation 12(5)(e) and that the public interest favours maintaining this exception. However, the Commissioner has also concluded that some of the redacted information is not exempt from disclosure on the basis of regulation 12(5)(e).
EIR 12(5)(f): Partly upheld
