1 March 2016, Local government (District council)
The complainant has requested information relating to the compensation paid to companies affected by the Olympics Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO). Initially the request was considered under the FOIA, and the GLA refused to disclose some information under sections 12 and 43 of the FOIA. During the Commissioner’s investigation it was agreed that the request should have been considered under the EIR and the GLA informed the Commissioner that it now wished to rely on regulations 12(4)(a), 12(4)(b) and 12(5)(e) of the EIR. In relation to the application of regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR, the Commissioner has decided that this exception is not engaged. However, in relation to the application of regulation 12(4)(a) and 12(4)(b) of the EIR, the Commissioner’s decision is that these exceptions have been correctly applied by the GLA. The Commissioner requires the GLA to disclose the information previously withheld under regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR to the complainant.
EIR 12(4)(a): Not upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld EIR 12(5)(e): Upheld
