Cumberland Council
- Date 27 April 2023
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 5.1: Not upheld
The complainant submitted a request for information about planning matters to Copeland Borough Council. As a result of a local government reorganisation, Copeland Borough Council ceased to exist on 1 April 2023. Its functions, including legacy information requests such as this one, have been transferred to a new unitary authority, Cumberland Council (‘the Council’). The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council has disclosed all the relevant information it holds and has complied with regulation 5(1) of the EIR. It is not necessary for the Council to take any corrective steps.
