Mid Sussex District Council
The complainant has requested information relating to specific planning applications. Mid Sussex District Council disclosed some information and withheld other information under the exceptions for internal communications (regulation 12(4)(e)) and the course of justice (regulation 12(5)(b)). During the Commissioner’s investigation the public authority dropped its reliance on exceptions and disclosed the previously withheld information to the complainant. The complainant asked the Commissioner to determine whether all the relevant information had been disclosed. The Commissioner’s decision is that Mid Sussex District Council has disclosed all the relevant information it holds and complied with regulation 5(1) but that in doing so outside the time limit it breached regulation 5(2). The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.EIR 5(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld
