King's Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council
- Date 11 February 2026
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld, EIR 14(3): Upheld
The complainant has requested information about a planning application. The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk (‘the Council’) relied on section 14(1) of FOIA (vexatious request) to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR and the Council isn’t obliged to comply with it. He has recorded a regulation 14(3) breach as the request was refused under the wrong legislation. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
