The complainant has requested information relating to the decision to add a property to the Local list of Buildings and Structures of Architectural and Historic Interest. The Commissioner’s decision is that Spelthorne Borough Council (the Council): On the balance of probabilities, has now disclosed all the recorded information it held at the time of the request. Has correctly relied on regulation 12(5)(b) and regulation 12(4)(e) when refusing to provide some of the requested information. Was entitled to rely on regulation 13 in the manner that it has done. Breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to disclose information within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps, as it has since disclosed additional information.
