- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Upheld
The complainant requested copies of the recordings of Brixton Neighbourhood Construction Forum (“BNCF”) meetings held on behalf of Lambeth Council (“the council”) by its developers Muse Developments in 2020. The council refused the request and advised the complainant that they did not hold this information, citing Regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR. The Commissioner finds that the council cannot rely on the regulation cited as the information is effectively held on the council’s behalf and should be provided to the council to support the EIR request.
