Summary: The complainant requested the locations of noise monitoring equipment relating to the proposed development of a wind farm. Northumberland County Council (the Council) refused to disclose this information and cited the exception from disclosure provided by Regulation 13 of the EIR. The Commissioner-™s decision is that in relation to some of the information the Council applied this exception correctly. However, in relation to the remainder of the information, the Commissioner finds that this exception was not engaged and the Council is required to disclose this information. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose to the complainant the one address which has been found to not be personal data and the four addresses in relation to which there would be no breach of the first data protection principle through disclosure. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 11 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 13 - Complaint Partly Upheld
