London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham

The complainant has requested information about the schedule of works carried out by London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF) and its contractors on or around a specific residential property. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, LBHF has disclosed the information which it holds within the scope of the request. It has therefore complied with regulation 5(1) of the EIR. However, the Commissioner finds that, as LBHF only located and disclosed the information at a later date as part of a SAR response much later than the required 20 working days, it breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR. The Commissioner further finds that LBHF has breached regulation 11(4) as it did not provide its internal review decision within the statutory timeframe. The Commissioner does not require LBHF to take any remedial steps.
