Writtle University College

The complainant has requested the application for University status submitted by Writtle University College (“the College”). The College initially refused the request on the basis of section 43(2) of the FOIA before later amending its position to refuse the request under section 14(1). The Commissioner’s decision is that the College has demonstrated there would be a considerable burden on it in responding to the request and the Commissioner accepts the request has been correctly refused under section 14(1) of the FOIA.
