Hastings Borough Council
The complainant has requested information held by Hastings Borough Council (the council) which relates to an invoice that it had received for work undertaken by a third party company in connection to a site licence. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR as its basis for withholding the information relevant to the request, and that the public interest rests in favour of maintaining this exception. However, the Commissioner has found that the council has breached regulation 14(2) of the EIR by failing to issue a refusal notice within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint not upheld EIR 14(2): Complaint upheld
