London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham

The complainant has requested information from the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (“the Council”). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council incorrectly handled some of the request under the FOIA, as some of the requested information is environmental and should have been considered under the EIR. However, the Commissioner has also determined that the Council has correctly applied section 12 of the FOIA to request 1, and section 40 to request 7. The Commissioner is also satisfied that the Council does not hold any further information which has not already been provided to the complainant that falls within the scope of his requests. The Commissioner requires the Council to take no steps.
