The complainant requested information relating to a planning enforcement investigation. Hastings Borough Council initially withheld the requested information but disclosed it during the course of the Commissioner’s investigation. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has complied with its duty under Regulation 5(1) of the EIR to provide the information it holds. It also issued a refusal notice that complied with Regulation 14 of the EIR. As the Commissioner was unable to identify a statutory breach of the legislation, no remedial steps are required.
