The complainant has requested copies of responses to a public consultation exercise about plans to develop an accessible pathway through Stoke Park, Bristol. The council provided the majority of the information in an anonymised form but refused to provide free text responses on the basis that Regulation 13(1) applies (personal data). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply Regulation 13(1) to withhold some of the information. She also observes that some of the information is personal data relating to the requestor, and this information is therefore exempt under Regulation 5(3). However, the Commissioner has also concluded that the majority of the information is not personal data and therefore the council was not correct to apply Regulation 13 in order to withhold it. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. To disclose the information which is not personal data, as outlined in the confidential annex to this decision notice.
