Woking Borough Council

The complainant requested various information in respect of Victoria Square Woking Limited from Woking Borough Council (the ‘Council’). The Council provided some of the information, but refused the remainder on the basis of regulation 12(5)(e) (confidentiality of commercial or industrial interests) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (the ‘EIR’). During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council disclosed the previously withheld information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council’s failure to provide the information to the complainant within the specified timescales (20 working days), represents a breach of regulation 5(2) of the EIR. As the information has now been disclosed, the Commissioner does not require further steps.

EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 216325
