The complainant has requested information relating to the planned redevelopment of Woking Football Club’s stadium, together with and associated residential property development. The council initially withheld information under Regulation 12(5)(e). During the course of the Commissioners investigation it disclosed the majority of the information, however, it maintained redactions under Regulation 12(5)(e) and under Regulation 13(1) (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply Regulation 12(5)(e) and Regulation 13(1) to redact sections from the information it has disclosed. She has, however, decided that the council did not comply with the requirements of Regulation 5(2) in that it did not disclose information to the complainant within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
