The Commissioner’s decision is that Oxfordshire County Council failed to provide some of the requested information in time and breached regulation 5(2), and that it has correctly withheld information under regulation 12(5)(b) and 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
