Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council
The complainant requested information relating to specific planning applications. Rochdale Borough Council (the “council”) refused the request, citing the exceptions for internal communications (regulation 12(4)(e) and interests of the information provider (regulation 12(5)(f)). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has failed to demonstrate that the exception in regulation 12(5)(f) is engaged and that, in relation to its application of regulation 12(4)(e), the public interest favours disclosure. The Commissioner requires the council to disclose the withheld information to the complainant.EIR 12(4)(e): Complaint upheld EIR 12(5)(f): Complaint upheld
