Warwick District Council
- Date 16 December 2022
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.5.b: Not upheld, EIR 14: Upheld, EIR 5.1: Upheld
The complainant requested information regarding Coventry Airport in relation a planning matter. Warwick District Council (the “council”) provided some information, confirmed that some information was not held and withheld other information under the exception for the course of justice (regulation 12(5)(b)). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly confirmed that some information was not held and correctly withheld other information under regulation 12(5)(b) but that in initially handling the request under the FOIA it breached regulation 5(1) and regulation 14 of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
