Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI)

The complainant has requested correspondence relating to a planning application. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) refused the request citing regulation 12(4)(b) on the basis that the request was manifestly unreasonable. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is not manifestly unreasonable and PSNI was not entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b). The Commissioner requires PSNI to issue a fresh response to the complainant that does not rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR.
