Hastings Borough Council

  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) FOI 10(1): Upheld

The complainant has requested information held by Hastings Borough Council (the council) about the number of planning notification letters that were sent over a specific time period, and the total costs associated with this. The Commissioner is satisfied that, on the balance of probabilities, the council has now provided all the information that it holds that is relevant to the request. However, as it did not provide the complainant with the relevant information within 20 working days, it is the Commissioner’s decision that the council has breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
