Rossendale Borough Council

The complainant has requested information on specific planning applications around the subject of contaminated land. Rossendale Borough Council ("the Council”) answered parts of the request, providing links to the public file, and withheld some communications under regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that in respect of communications with the agent the Council has complied with regulation 5(1) and provided all the information it holds. However, the Commissioner finds the Council has incorrectly applied regulation 12(4)(e) to the communications between itself and Salford City Council officers. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the information described at part 1(a) of the request with appropriate redactions for any personal data.
