City of York Council

The complainant has requested a transport appraisal relating to the development of a site in the centre of York. The Council refused the request under regulation 12(4)(d) – material in the course of completion. The Commissioner’s decision is that the exception is engaged and can be maintained in the public interest. The Council is therefore entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(d) to refuse the request.  The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any further action in this matter.
