Hastings Borough Council
- Date 20 August 2019
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 11.4: Upheld, EIR 5.1: Not upheld
The complainant requested from Hastings Borough Council information consisting of a report or document from which two figures were extracted following a previous information request. The Council stated that it did not hold information of such description.
The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council stated correct that it did not hold the requested information, but that it breached regulation 11(4) of the EIR as its internal review was not carried out within the required 40 working days.
The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
