- Decision(s) EIR 11(4): Upheld, EIR 5(2): Upheld
The complainant requested information relating to specific planning applications. East Riding of Yorkshire Council (the “council”) disclosed some information and withheld other information under the exception for internal communications (regulation 12(4)(e)). The complainant is dissatisfied with the time the council took to deal with their request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council failed to respond to the request and the internal review in time and breached regulation 5(2) and regulation 11(4) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the council to take further steps.
