Gateshead Council
The complainant requested information relating to noise complaints made about a public house in Ryton. The council refused to provide the information, relying on the exemption under section 30 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“the FOIA”). The Commissioner considered that the request should be handled under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (“the EIR”). The council relied on the exceptions under regulation 12(5)(b), regulation 12(4)(e) and 13(1) of the EIR. The council said that the public interest did not favour disclosure. The Commissioner was satisfied that the information should be withheld under regulation 13(1) of the EIR. She does not require the council to take any steps.EIR 13(1): Complaint not upheld
