North Northamptonshire Council
The complainant has requested information from North Northants Council (“the Council”) in relation to a specific planning application. The Council has refused to provide the requested information, citing regulation 6(1)(b) of the EIR, as the information is available publicly online. It has also cited regulation 12(4)(e) - internal communications and regulation 13 – personal data. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly cited regulation 6(1)(b). However, upon consideration of the case, the Commissioner considers that the Council should not have relied upon regulation 12(4)(e) or regulation 13. This is because this information does not fall within the scope of the complainant’s request. The Commissioner will also look at the timeliness of the Council’s response, under regulation 5(2) – time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.EIR 6(1)(b): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld
