London Borough of Croydon

The complainant has requested information from the London Borough of Croydon (“the Council”) in relation to a specific planning application. The Council originally advised that the information was publicly available, citing regulation 6(1)(b) of the EIR. The Council also advised that it does not hold any further information in relation to the request, citing regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold any further information and, therefore, regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR is engaged. The Commissioner also finds that the information in question is both publicly available and easily accessible. The Council was therefore entitled to rely on regulation 6(1)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.

EIR 6(1)(b): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(4)(a): Complaint not upheld
