Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities
The complainant requested copies of certain communications received by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (the DLUHC) which concern The Future Homes and Buildings Standards, due to be implemented in 2025. The DLUHC refused the request, citing regulation 12(4)(d) - material in the course of completion, and regulation 13 - personal information, of the EIR. The complainant has not contested the DLUHC’s decision to apply regulation 13 to information that is the personal data of third parties. The Commissioner has decided that the exception at regulation 12(4)(d) is not engaged in respect of part of the withheld information. Furthermore, where the Commissioner has accepted that regulation 12(4)(d) is engaged, he has found that the public interest favours disclosure of the information. The Commissioner requires the DLUHC release all of the withheld information, with the exception of any personal information, which should be redacted.
