Bromsgrove District Council

The complainant requested from Bromsgrove District Council information in relation to a specific planning application. The Council advised the complainant that some of the relevant information was available on its planning portal and provided additional correspondence related to the request which was not included on its planning portal. The complainant remained dissatisfied and believed that the Council should be in possession of further information within the scope of his request. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council was correct when it stated that it held no further information within the scope of the request. However, the Commissioner found that the Council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to provide all information it held within 20 working days. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.

EIR 5(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: IC-47175
