East Lindsey District Council
The complainant has requested information collected by East Lindsey District Council from caravan owners for the purpose of allowing the Council to develop a caravan licensing regime. The Council provided the complainant with a spreadsheet containing some of the information he had asked for. The Council withheld certain classes of information in reliance on section 40(2) of the FOIA because it considered the withheld information to be personal data and its disclosure would breach the Data Protection Act 1998. The Commissioner’s decision is that East Lindsey District Council has correctly applied section 40(2) of the FOIA to the information has withheld from the complainant.
FOI 40:
Complaint not upheld
Decision notice:
fs50694110
