- Decision(s) FOI 5: Upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to how a figure of 15,000 dwellings was arrived at, including information relating to assumptions used to arrive at the projection. Sunderland City Council (‘the council’) refused the request under regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR. As the requested information was disclosed during the Commissioner’s investigation, his decision is that the council did not meet the requirements of regulation 5 of the EIR in that it did not provide the requested information within 20 working days. He does not require the public authority to take any steps.
