Forest of Dean District Council
14 September 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information relating to planning applications. Forest of Dean Borough Council refused the request, withholding the information under the exception for adverse affect to the course of justice – regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that Forest of Dean District Council failed to conduct an internal review within the time limit in breach of regulation 11(4), and correctly applied regulation 12(5)(b) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
EIR 11(4): Upheld EIR 12(5)(b): Not upheld
