26 July 2017, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information from Wealden District Council (the council) concerning legal advice sought by the council regarding the 5 Year Housing Land Supply. The council refused to provide the majority of the requested information stating that it was legally privileged and disclosure would adversely affect the course of justice. It stated that regulation 12(5)(b) therefore applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was entitled to rely on regulation 12(5)(b) in this case, and has therefore complied with the EIR.
EIR 12(5)(b): Not upheld
