London Borough of Enfield

The complainant requested information about council-owned blocks. The London Borough of Enfield provided some information but refused to provide the remainder because it stated that the information was already reasonably accessible to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that the London Borough of Enfield is entitled to rely on section 21 of the FOIA to withhold the information. She does however find that the London Borough failed to cite this exemption within 20 working days and thus breached section 17 of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any further steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0192 disposed by consent.
