West Oxfordshire District Council
The complainant requested information about a planning application that they submitted to the Council. West Oxfordshire District Council (the Council) stated that all information relating to the planning application was available on its website. In its internal review response the Council sought to apply regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable) of the EIR to the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request falls under the EIR, but that regulation 5(3) of the EIR applies as the information is the complainant’s own personal data. This means that the Council was not obliged to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require any steps.EIR 5: Complaint not upheld
