Colchester Borough Council
- Date 1 April 2025
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Partly upheld, EIR 5.1: Partly upheld
The complainant requested information relating to a planning application. Colchester City Council (the council) responded that it held the information and provided a link to the planning application website for it to be accessed. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has complied with regulation 5(1) of the EIR in relation to part 2 of the request, in that information falling within this part of the request has been provided. The Commissioner has also found that, on the balance of probabilities, the council does not hold information falling within the scope of part 1 of the request and therefore regulation 12(4)(a) is engaged. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
