Guildford Borough Council

The complainant has requested information relating to planning contravention notices.  Guildford Borough Council withheld the requested information under the exception for personal data, regulation 13 of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that Guildford Borough Council (the “council” failed to issue a refusal notice in time and breached regulation 14 and that it correctly applied regulation 13(1) to withhold the requested information. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
