Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council

The complainant has requested information about the legal process followed by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council regarding decisions it made on 5 November 2019 and 10 March 2020 about the redevelopment of the Campus West Car Park. The Council refused the request as it considered that compliance with it would exceed the cost limit under section 12 FOIA.The Commissioner’s decision is that Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council  (the ‘Council’) has correctly cited section 12(1) FOIA, in response to the request. It has also complied with its duty to provide advice and assistance in line with the requirements of section 16 FOIA. He finds that the Council breached section 10(1) FOIA by failing to respond to the request within the statutory time for compliance. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps.
