Summary: The complainant submitted a request to Gateshead Council (-˜the Council-™) for information from environmental records held on a property in Gateshead. The Council stated that it would make some of this information available free of charge, but would charge a fee to allow inspection of other parts of the information. Later in the investigation, the Council informed the Commissioner that it relied on regulation 6(1)(a), although it would allow inspection if a fee was paid. The Commissioner finds that the Council has breached regulation 8(2)(b). He requires the Council to make the requested information available for the complainant to inspect free of charge. The public authority must take the steps required by this notice within 35 calendar days of the date of this notice.
