Wealden District Council

The complainant has requested information from Wealden District Council (“the council”) about any planning proposal that may impact on a specified property. This request was made through a Con29R form, which is a standardised application document for the ‘Local Enquiries Search’ element of what is commonly referred to as a ‘Property Search’. The council provided held information in response to this request. The complainant subsequently contested that information about future modifications to a specific planning proposal had not been provided. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council provided the planning proposal as it existed at the date of request, and therefore complied with its obligations under the Environmental Information Regulations (“the EIR”). This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
