Chorley Borough Council

The complainant has requested information about Houses of Multiple Occupation. Chorley Borough Council disclosed some of the information and directed the complainant to where the remainder was published on its website. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has provided all held information and is entitled to rely upon section 21 (Information accessible to the applicant by other means) for that which is already published on its website. However, the Council breached the time limits set by section 10(1) and section 17(1) in its handling of the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
