Ealing Council

The complainant has requested information on notes, records, statements and correspondence between Ealing Council (“the Council”) and particular residents relating to noise nuisance complaints. The Council relied on regulation 13 of the EIR (third party personal information) to withhold the information. The complainant also requested information on allegations made against themself which the public authority refused under regulation 5(3) of the EIR (personal data of the applicant) but responded to as a subject access request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has correctly relied on regulation 13 of the EIR to withhold the information in the scope of the complaint to the Commissioner. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken.
