21 March 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information from East Devon District Council (the council) in respect of predicted energy costs at Knowle in the context of the council’s office relocation project, and the documents used to reach those estimates. The council provided some information, but maintained that it did not hold the remainder. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, further information was located within the scope of the request and some of this was provided. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has failed to comply fully with this request and in doing so has breached section 1, section 10 and section 17 of the FOIA.
FOI 1: Partly upheld FOI 10: Partly upheld FOI 17: Partly upheld
