- Date 7 June 2018
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested information concerning the title to allotments and a purported transfer of land. Burnham on Crouch Town Council stated in the initial response and its review response that no information was held within the scope of the request. Following the Commissioner’s intervention, the Council reviewed the matter and found minutes that were relevant to the request which it disclosed to the complainant. In failing to disclose at the time of the request information that it did hold, Burnham on Crouch Town Council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR. As the information has now been disclosed the Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
