London Borough of Islington

The complainant has requested information about historical roofing working carried out on a residential building. The London Borough of Islington (“the Council”) refused the request with reliance on regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to refuse the complainant’s request and the balance of the public interest favours maintaining the exception. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
