Swansea Council

The complainant requested all information in respect of how the Council arrived at its decision regarding the ownership of a piece of land on which a shed was located near their property. Swansea Council provided some information, but refused part of the request citing section 14(2) (repeated request) FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request in its entirety should have been considered under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) and as there is no equivalent to section 14(2) under the EIR that section 14(2) cannot apply. However, having recently issued a decision notice (IC-96416-S3G8) in respect of essentially the same information, the Commissioner is satisfied Swansea Council has previously provided all information it holds to the complainant and that regulation 6(1)(b) is therefore an appropriate exception to refuse to supply it again in respect of this request.

FOI 14(2): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 101330
