Kent County Council

The complainant requested information relating to statutory transfers of land in respect of schools.  Kent County Council (the “council”) refused the request, initially withholding the information under exemptions in the FOIA.  It subsequently reconsidered the request under the EIR, withholding the information under the exceptions for internal communications (regulation 12(4)(e)) and commercial confidentiality (regulation 12(5)(e)).  The Commissioner’s decision is that the council wrongly handled the request under the FOIA and breached regulation 5(1) and 14(1) of the EIR but that it correctly withheld the requested information under regulation 12(4)(e).

EIR 5(1): Complaint upheld EIR 12(4)(e): Complaint not upheld EIR 14(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: ic-81180
