Surrey Heath Borough Council
The complainant requested specified building control related information for a named building. Surrey Heath Borough Council (the ‘Council’) said some of the information was exempt under section 21 of FOIA as it was reasonably accessible online. Ultimately, it said to respond to the remainder of the request was ‘manifestly unreasonable’ citing Regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The complainant did not complain about the Council’s reliance on section 21 of FOIA so the Commissioner has not considered this aspect any further. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on Regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR to refuse to comply with the remainder of the request for the reasons set out in this notice. No steps are required to ensure compliance with the legislation.EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld
