Shardlow and Great Wilne Parish Council

The complainant requested information about work by a contractor to a hedge dividing his property from a public right of way. Shardlow & Great Wilne Parish Council provided information it held but the complainant was not persuaded that it did not hold more, so far undisclosed, information. The Commissioner’s decision is that Shardlow & Great Wilne Parish Council correctly refused to provide information it did not hold and that the EIR exception 12(4)(a) meant that Shardlow & Great Wilne Parish Council did not need to take further action. The Commissioner did not require Shardlow & Great Wilne Parish Council to take any steps to comply with the legislation. First-tier tribunal (General Regulatory chamber) information rights appeal EA/2022/0154 appeal allowed.
