Bath & North East Somerset Council

The complainant requested the full building control file relating to works at a specific property. Bath & North East Somerset Council (the “council”) refused the request under regulation 12(3) of the EIR, on the basis that the requested information constituted personal data and was excepted from disclosure under regulation 13(1). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was entitled to rely on regulation 13(1) of the EIR to withhold the requested information.The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
