Norfolk County Council

  • Date 3 March 2026
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) EIR 5(1): Not upheld, EIR 5(2): Upheld

The complainant requested information relating to a specific planning application. Norfolk County Council (the “council”) disclosed some information and withheld other information under regulation 12(4)(d) (material in the course of completion) and regulation 13 (personal information). The complainant disputes the council’s position that all non-excepted information has been disclosed. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the council disclosed all the information it held at the time of the request and complied with regulation 5(1) but that it breached regulation 5(2) by doing so outside the time limits. The Commissioner does not require the council to take further steps.
