Coventry City Council

The complainant has requested information about the Coventry North Package - part of Coventry’s Strategic Transport Investment Programme. Coventry City Council (‘the Council’) withheld the information under regulation 12(4)(d) and regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR, which concern material still in the course of completion and internal communications respectively. The Council has subsequently relied on regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable request) to withhold communications that are not covered by regulation 12(4)(e). The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: At the time of the request, the requested information engaged regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR because it could be categorised as information relating to material in the course of completion. The public interest favoured maintaining this exception. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any corrective steps.

EIR 12(4)(d): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: ic-97640
