Denmead Parish Council

The complainant requested information about sewerage, drainage, groundwater issues and environmental aspects of development and neighbourhood planning in Denmead. The council provided some information and signposted material already published online. The Commissioner found that the council did not carry out reasonable and proportionate searches for all the information it holds, breaching regulation 5(1) of the EIR, and has ordered it to carry out further searches and either disclose any additional information or issue a compliant refusal notice, including in relation to two sets of minutes identified during the Commissioner’s investigation.
