Coventry City Council
- Date 8 January 2020
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld, EIR 12.4.d: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to air quality plans relating to the City of Coventry. The council refused the request on the basis that Regulation 12(4)(d) applied (unfinished documents or incomplete material). It also refused part of the request on the basis that Regulation 12(4)(b) applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply Regulation 12(4)(b) and 12(4)(d) to the information, and that the public interest rests within the exceptions being maintained. However, she has also decided that the council did not comply with the requirements of Regulation 5(2) in that it did not provide the requested information which it did provide within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
