Homes and Communities Agency

The complainant has requested a copy of a lease agreement between the Homes & Communities Agency, Victoria Quay Estate Limited and Westcourt Real Estate (Europe) Limited and Camper & Nicholsons Marinas Limited.  The Homes & Communities Agency provided some of the requested information and withheld other information under the exception for the confidentiality of commercial information, regulation 12(5)(e).  The Commissioner’s decision is that the Homes & Communities Agency has failed to demonstrate that regulation 12(5)(e) is engaged. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the withheld information to the complainant. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0269 withdrawn.
