Cheshire East Council
The complainant has requested copies of correspondence which has passed between Cheshire East Council and Jodrell Bank Observatory in respect of certain planning applications identified in her request. The Council identified 10 letters and 2 emails which it refused to disclose to the complainant in reliance on Regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR. Following the Commissioner’s intervention in this matter, the Council withdrew its application of Regulation 12(4)(e) and disclosed the relevant information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cheshire East Council has complied with Regulation 5(1) of the EIR. By making its disclosure of information after the twenty working day compliance period required by Regulation 5(2), the Council has contravened that provision.EIR 5(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld
