Witherley Parish Council
The complainant has requested information with regards to a Neighbourhood Development Plan. Witherley Parish Council (the council) provided some information, then following an internal review request the council issued a refusal notice citing section 14(1) of the Freedom of Information Act (the FOIA) – vexatious request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request fell under the EIR and accordingly found that regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR – manifestly unreasonable - was engaged and that the public interest favours maintenance of the exception. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps, but has set out some points in the ‘other matters’ section of this decision notice for both parties to note.EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld
