Bridgend County Borough Council

The complainant has requested information held by Bridgend Council (the Council) with regards to HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) density by ward.
The Council initially refused the request. Following an internal review, whilst it provided a list of HMO properties by ward, it did not provide the specific information requested by the complainant, stating that this was not held.
It is the Commissioner’s decision that the Council holds all of the requested information.
The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
Either provide all the outstanding information held that is relevant to the request to the complainant, or issue a refusal notice that complies with section 17 of FOIA.
