Shropshire Council
The complainant requested information, in a multi-part request, relating to planning matters. Shropshire Council (the Council) denied holding some information within the scope of the request and stated that it had already provided some relevant information. It withheld the remaining information within the scope of the request, citing regulation 12(4)(d) (information in the course of completion) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to apply regulation 12(4)(d) to the withheld information and that the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosure. She also decided that the Council did not hold further information within the scope of part (2) of the request. The Commissioner is therefore satisfied that the Council complied with its duty under Regulation 5(1) of the EIR by virtue of the exception at regulation 12(4)(a) (information not held). The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.EIR 12(4)(d): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(4)(a): Complaint not upheld
