Summary: The complainant requested information from Tenterden Town Council relating to the -Tenterden Southern Extension-. The council provided some information however it sought to withhold information using various exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (-the FOIA-). Following the Commissioner-s intervention, the council reconsidered the request under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (-the EIR-) and relied upon exceptions under the EIR. During the course of the investigation, the council decided to make the information available to the complainant. The only outstanding issue was the way the council had handled the request. The Commissioner-s decision is that the council breached regulations 5(1), 5(2), 14(2), 14(3), 14(5), 11(4) and 9(1) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 5 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 9 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 11 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 14 - Complaint Upheld
