- Decision(s) EIR 12: Not upheld, EIR 13: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to a specified planning enforcement case considered by Cornwall Council’s planning committee. Some information was refused under the provisions of regulation 12(3) of the EIR, on the grounds that it was personal data, and disclosure would breach the data protection principles. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cornwall Council has correctly applied regulation 12(3) and 13 of EIR in withholding the requested information. He does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
