New Alresford Town Council

The complainant has requested communication made relating to a planning application from New Alresford Town Council (“the council”). The council disclosed some information, however the complainant argued that further information would be held by it in the clerk’s email account. During the course of the Commissioner's investigation, the council carried out searches of the specified email account and disclosed one further email to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council does not hold any further information falling within the scope of the request. However, the Commissioner has decided that the council did not comply with Regulation 5(2) of the EIR in that it did not disclose all of the requested information to the complainant within 20 working days of receiving their request for information. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
