- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 13: Not upheld, EIR 14: Upheld, EIR 5: Upheld
The complainant requested information about gas works in Whitstable from Kent County Council (“the Council”). The Council provided some information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council, after correctly redacting some third party personal data under regulation 13(2A) of the EIR, has provided all the information falling within the scope of the request. However, the Council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR since it failed to provide all of the information within 20 working days. It also failed to comply with the requirements of regulation 14 of the EIR (refusal to disclose) since it did not explain, within the same statutory timeframe, why it had redacted some information. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
