London Borough of Enfield

The complainant submitted a request to the London Borough of Enfield (the Council) seeking a breakdown of the cost of a quote he had received for constructing two vehicle crossovers at his property. The Council provided some of the information it held but sought to withhold a breakdown of the contractor’s costs on the basis of section 43(2) (commercial interests) of FOIA. The Commissioner has concluded that the withheld information is exempt from disclosure on the basis of section 43(2) and that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest favours maintaining the exemption.
