London Borough of Croydon

The complainant requested information relating to a planning application. London Borough of Croydon (the Council) provided information falling within the scope of the request but the complainant argued that it would hold additional recorded information. The Commissioner has investigated whether the Council holds further information within the scope of the request (regulation 5 (duty to make available environmental information on request) of the EIR). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council does not hold further information within the scope of the request and therefore complied with regulation 5(1) of the EIR. However, he finds a procedural breach of regulation 5(2). The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision.
