- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.e: Upheld
The complainant requested a copy of a financial viability assessment relating to the Greenwich Peninsula. Royal Borough of Greenwich (the Council) provided some of the requested information but refused to provide a small amount, citing the EIR exception for adverse affect to commercial confidentiality (regulation 12(5)(e)) as its basis for doing so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council failed to demonstrate that regulation 12(5)(e) is engaged. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose the withheld information. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0122 dismissed.
