Hampshire County Council
- Date 30 November 2022
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 13.1: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant requested from Hampshire County Council (‘the council’) information relating to a waste facility proposed in Alton, Hampshire. The council initially refused parts of the request on the basis that exceptions apply. Subsequently it disclosed all of the information which it holds but redacted some information under the exception in Regulation 13(1)(personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply Regulation 13(1) to withhold the data. He has, however, also decided that the council did not comply with the requirements of Regulation 5(2). The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
