Stratford-on-Avon District Council

The complainant requested from Stratford-on-Avon District Council a copy of the terms of reference document relating to a report on possible development of a local airfield. The Commissioner determined the matter with reference to the EIRs. She decided that the regulation 12(5)(e) (Commercial confidentiality) and 12(5)(f) (Interests of the information provider) EIR exceptions were not engaged. The Commissioner requires Stratford-on-Avon District Council to disclose to the complainant the full text of the terms of reference document “Brief for Aviation Consultant”. Stratford-on-Avon District Council must take this step within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
