Gravesham Borough Council

The complainant requested information about a meeting that they believe took place to discuss their stage three complaint about flooding on their land from Gravesham Borough Council (‘the Council’). The Council refused the request on the basis that it was vexatious and cited section 14(1) Freedom of Information Act, 200 (‘FOIA’). Following the Commissioner’s investigation, the Council undertook a search for the information. It concluded that it did not hold relevant information as a meeting on the specified date did not take place. It amended its response to the complainant accordingly. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council should have considered the request under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (‘the EIR’). The Commissioner has also concluded that, on the balance of probabilities, the Council does not hold the requested information.

EIR 12(4)(a): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 133433
