- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested the business model and financial model relating to a decision by Surrey County Council to impose car park charges. Surrey County Council disclosed some information but explained that it did not hold certain financial information and cited regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR.
The Commissioner’s decision is that Surrey County Council is correct to state that it does not hold the financial information in question and has therefore cited regulation 12(4)(a) appropriately. However, the Commissioner considers that Surrey County Council has breached regulation 5(2) (Duty to make available environmental information on request) of the EIR.
The Commissioner does not require Surrey County Council to take any steps as a result of this decision.
