The complainant made a request for correspondence between Valencia, Viridor, and Sutton Council (the Council) regarding the expansion of the Sutton Decentralised Energy Network (SDEN). The Council withheld the information under regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR, citing commercial confidentiality.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(e) to withhold the requested information and that the public interest favours maintaining the exception.
The Commissioner does not require any steps as a result of this decision.
