- Decision(s) EIR 11: Upheld, EIR 14: Upheld, EIR 5: Upheld
The complainant requested information regarding planning issues at a particular property. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (the Council) initially handled the request under the FOIA. Following the Commissioner’s intervention it reconsidered the request under the EIR. The Council disclosed most of the requested information and withheld the remainder in reliance on the exception at regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority failed to respond to the request in accordance with the EIR. However she does not require any remedial steps in respect of this request.
