- Decision(s) EIR 11(2): Upheld, EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld, EIR 5(2): Upheld
The complainant submitted a request to the London Borough of Lambeth (the Council) seeking information about the remediation of Brockwell Park following events that had taken place. The Council refused the request on the basis of regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable). The Commissioner’s decision is that Council is entitled to rely on 12(4)(b) to refuse to comply with the request. However, the Commissioner has concluded that the Council breached regulation 5(2) by failing to respond to the request within 20 working days and breached regulation 11(2) by failing to complete an internal review.
