London Borough of Hounslow

The complainant has requested information in relation to a specific planning application and listed building consent application. The London Borough of Hounslow (the Council) provided some information and refused to provide the remaining information citing regulation 5(3) - personal data of which the applicant is the data subject, regulation 13(1) - third-party personal data, regulation 12(5)(f) - interests of the person who provided the information and regulation 12(5)(a) - public safety, of the EIR. 
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on regulation 5(3), regulation 13(1) and regulation 12(5)(f) to refuse to provide the information. 
In respect of information withheld under regulation 12(5)(a), it is the Commissioner’s decision the information is excepted from disclosure under regulation 13(1) of the EIR therefore, he has not gone on to consider the 12(5)(a) exception.
Furthermore, the Commissioner has found that the Council has breached regulation 14(3) of the EIR by incorrectly issuing its refusal notice under FOIA and failing to specify what exception it was relying on, or its consideration of the public interest test. 
The Commissioner does not require further steps.
