Wiltshire Council

The complainant requested information relating to planning applications and how the council dealt with these regarding his property. The council initially provided some information but redacted other information under Regulation 12(3) (personal data). The complainant considered that further information should be held. Further information was then provided, however the complainant maintains that further information should still be held. He also complained about the redactions made under Regulation 12(3) from the documents which had been disclosed. The Commissioner’s decision is that on a balance of probabilities, no further information is held falling within the scope of the complainant's request. She has also decided that the council was correct to redact the identities of individuals under Regulation 12(3). The Commissioner has also decided that the council did not comply with Regulation 5(2). The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
