- Decision(s) EIR 11.4: Upheld, EIR 12.5.e: Partly upheld, EIR 13: Partly upheld, EIR 7(1): Upheld
The complainant requested information connected to a specific planning application. The London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (“the Council”) provided some information and withheld other information under the exceptions in regulation 12(5)(f) and 13 of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has incorrectly applied regulations 12(5)(f) and 13 to most of the information that it has withheld. She has also decided that it breached regulation 7(1) in extending the time to respond to the request and regulation 11(4) in taking more than 40 working days to complete the internal review.
