Luton Borough Council
- Date 3 July 2018
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 10(1): Upheld, EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested information around a planning dispute. The Commissioner’s decision is that Luton Borough Council has disclosed all the information it holds and has therefore complied with its duty under Regulation 5(1), however in failing to issue a response within 20 working days, it breached Regulation 5(2) of the Environmental Information Regulations. It also failed to either transfer the request to, or inform the complainant of the name and address of a public authority which it believed held (or might have held) the information. It therefore also breached Regulation 10(1). The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps.
