London Borough of Southwark

The complainant has requested, from the London Borough of Southwark (the Council), a ‘closed’ report titled ‘Future of Aylesbury Estate’. The Council is withholding some information under regulations 12(5)(b) and 12(5)(e) (the course of justice and confidentiality of commercial or industrial information exceptions). The Commissioner’s decision is that whilst regulation 12(5)(b) is engaged and should be maintained (with the exception of two sentences), the Council has failed to demonstrate that regulation 12(5)(e) is engaged. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose the first two sentences of paragraph 26 of the closed report, and all of the information currently being withheld solely under regulation 12(5)(e), to ensure compliance with the legislation.

EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint upheld EIR 12(5)(b): Complaint partly upheld

Decision notice: 183935
