Darlington Borough Council
- Date 11 August 2023
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 11.4: Upheld, EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld
The complainant has requested from Darlington Borough Council (DBC) any recorded information it holds regarding pre planning agreements, applications, notes and correspondence with Darlington Football Club (DFC) related to potential sites where DFC proposes to build a New stadium.
The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, DBC does not hold any information in relation to the request and has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(a) but that it failed to carry out an internal review within the statutory time limit and breached regulation 11(4)of EIR.
The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken.
