Milton Keynes Council

The complainant has requested information about how the Council ensured compliance with Part M of the Building Regulations 2010, the public sector Equality Duty, and BS8300 in the design and planning of the Odeon Cinema at Milton Keynes Stadium.  The Council provided some information falling within the scope of the request but refused the remainder citing regulations 13 – third party personal data, 12(5)(e) – confidentiality of commercial information and 12(5)(a) – international relations, defence, national security or public safety.  The Commissioner’s decision is that Milton Keynes Council has correctly engaged regulation 13 only for the names and contact details of junior Council staff and all third party individuals.  It is not engaged for any other withheld information.  The Council has correctly engaged regulation 12(5)(e) for architectural design drawings only and the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosure.  It is not engaged for any other withheld information.  The Council has not demonstrated that regulation 12(5)(a) is engaged.  The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose all withheld information, except the personal data detailed above and architectural design drawings.

EIR 12(5)(a): Complaint upheld EIR 13: Complaint partly upheld EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint partly upheld
