Mid Devon District Council

The complainant requested information relating to the purchase of land. Mid Devon District Council (the “Council”) disclosed some information and confirmed that further information was not held. The complainant disputes this and considers that the Council holds further information relating to parts 1 and 2 of their request.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR as, on balance, he is satisfied that it does not hold further information falling within parts 1 and 2 of the request and, as the review request was submitted out of time, regulation 11(2) disapplied the Council’s duty to carry out an internal review in this case. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps.
