Bristol City Council
The complainant has requested information relating to a planning application concerning Bristol Zoo. Bristol City Council disclosed further information (following new searches being required by the Commissioner in decision notice IC-256678-V0V6) subject to some redactions under Regulation 12(4)(d) (material still in the course of completion, etc.) and Regulation 12(5)(b) (course of justice). During the Commissioner’s investigation, the council withdrew its reliance on Regulation 12(4)(d), and disclosed the information withheld under that exception. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply Regulation 12(5)(b) to withhold the remaining information that has been identified. He has also decided the council has complied with the requirements of Regulation 5(1) of the EIR as it has demonstrated, on the balance of probabilities, that no further information is held by it falling within the scope of the request for information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.EIR 5(1): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(5)(b): Complaint not upheld
