London Borough of Sutton Council

The complainant has requested information surrounding the revocation of specific Tree Preservation Orders (“TPOs”). The Commissioner’s decision is that the London Borough of Sutton has failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached Regulation 5(2) of the Environmental Information Regulations. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a substantive response, under the Regulations, to the request.
