Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council

The complainant has requested from Blackburn with Darwen Council information relating to specific payments it had made to two parties. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information requested is environmental and therefore the Council should have dealt with the request under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and not the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Reconsider and respond to the complainant’s request dated 2 September 2020 under the EIR. In doing so the Council should have careful regard to the Commissioner’s observations in ‘Other matters.

FOI 39: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: ic-56983
