North Somerset Council
The complainant made three separate requests from North Somerset Council (“the council”) for information related to a planning decision. The council aggregated the requests and refused to comply under regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable request) of the EIR. Regulation 12(5)(b) (the course of justice) was also applied to two of the requests. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was entitled to aggregate the requests and apply regulation 12(4)(b). Having made this decision, the Commissioner did not need to consider the application of regulation 12(5)(b). The council breached regulation 14 by failing to inform the complainant correctly of the grounds of its refusal. The Commissioner does not require any steps.
