Cornwall Council
The complainant requested information from Cornwall Council (“the Council”) about a planning application. The Council provided some information within the scope of the request but refused to provide the remainder, citing the exception under regulation 12(5)(f) of the EIR (adversely affect the interests of the person who provided the information). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the Council confirmed that some of the withheld information had been withheld under regulation 13 of the EIR (the personal data exception). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(f) and regulation 13 of the EIR to withhold the withheld information. The Commissioner is also satisfied that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council has provided the appropriate information to the complainant and no further information within the scope of the request is held. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.EIR 12(4)(a): Complaint not upheld EIR 13: Complaint not upheld EIR 12(5)(f): Complaint not upheld
