Wokingham Borough Council
16 November 2017, Local government (Borough council)
The complainant has requested recorded information from Wokingham Borough Council which concerns the Council’s intended acquisition of land at Broken Brow, close to the Thames Valley Park. At the time the complainant submitted his request negotiations to buy the land at Broken Brow were still on-going. The Council determined that the information it holds, and which falls within the scope of the complainant’s request, should be withheld in reliance on Regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR on the grounds that it is commercially sensitive and confidential. The Commissioner’s decision is that Wokingham Borough Council correctly applied Regulation 12(5)(e) to the information it has withheld from the complainant.
EIR 12(5)(e): Not upheld
