Ceredigion County Council

The complainant requested various information in respect of Ty’r Ffynnon, a property within the boundaries of Ceredigion County Council (‘the Council’). Following the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council reconsidered items 1, 2, 3 and 9 of the request under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (‘the EIR’). It applied regulation 12(4)(b) (request manifestly unreasonable) in respect of item 3, and maintained its position that it did not hold information relevant to items 1, 2 and 9 of the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that if any information is held in respect of items 1, 2 and 9 of the request, that it is the complainant’s own personal data. Similarly, information in respect of item 3 of the request would also be the complainant’s own personal data. He has therefore, used his discretion to consider whether the Council is entitled to rely on regulation 5(3) of the EIR to refuse to provide the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on regulation 5(3) to refuse to provide the requested information. He does not require the Council to take any steps.
