Waverley Borough Council

  • Date 15 September 2022
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld

The complainant requested from Waverley Borough Council (”the Council”) information relating to the use of a private road by developers, against a Planning Inspector’s instructions. The Council provided some information but denied that the further information was held. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold any further information, and therefore it complied with the requirements of Regulation 5(1). He has, however, decided that the Council did not comply with the requirements of Regulation 5(2) in that it did not respond to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
