Department for Education

The complainant has requested information about a decision to allow playing fields to be sold. The above public authority relied on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR (manifestly unreasonable) to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has correctly relied on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR and the public interest favours maintaining the exception. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken. Information Tribunal FTT EA/2023/0424 appeal allowed.
