Shropshire Council

The complainant has requested a copy of the Developer's Justification Statement and supporting documentation in relation to a proposed housing development in the grounds of a grade II listed building. Shropshire Council refused the request, citing the exception at regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR (confidentiality of commercial information). The Commissioner’s decision is that Shropshire Council was entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR to refuse the request.
