Oxfordshire County Council

  • Date 10 February 2026
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) EIR 12(4)(a): Not upheld, EIR 14(2): Upheld

The complainant requested information on road safety/traffic in relation to a specific development. Oxfordshire County Council (the “council”) confirmed that it didn’t hold the information. The complainant disputes the council’s position. The Commissioner is satisfied that on the balance of probabilities, the council does not hold information within the scope of the request. Therefore, his decision is that the council is entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(a) (information not held) of the EIR to refuse to provide the requested information. However, in issuing a late response to the complainant, the Commissioner also finds that the council breached regulation 14(2). The Commissioner does not require the council to take further steps.
