Horsham District Council
- Date 23 March 2022
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) FOI 11: Upheld
The complainant requested information about a specific piece of pre-application advice. Horsham District Council initially withheld the requested information before later determining that it could be disclosed as it was no longer sensitive. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council failed to carry out a reconsideration (internal review) of a response it provided, under the Environmental Information Regulations, within 40 working days and therefore breached Regulation 11 of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
