Wealden District Council
The complainant has requested certain emails held by Wealden District Council (the council) that relate to three separate planning applications. Whilst the council provided some information to the complainant in response to his request, certain additional information was released only after the internal review process was complete. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has, on the balance of probabilities, now provided the complainant with all the information which it holds that is relevant to the request. However, as the council failed to provide all the information within 20 working days, the Commissioner has found there to be a breach of regulation 5(2) of the EIR. Furthermore, as the council failed to provide its internal review response within 40 working days, it has also breached regulation 11(4) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.EIR 11(4): Complaint upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld
