Great Wyrley Parish Council
The complainant requested information from Great Wyrley Parish Council (“Great Wyrley”) about a historic land transfer. Great Wyrley, which had previously provided the complainant with some information, stated that no further information was held. It drew the Commissioner’s attention to some information it had obtained from a neighbouring parish council, but stated that, in its view, it was not required to consider this for disclosure. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is “environmental” and has considered the complaint under the EIR. Having considered the information provided to Great Wyrley by the neighbouring parish council, he has determined that this should have been considered for disclosure, and Great Wyrley is therefore in breach of regulation 5(1) of the EIR. He is satisfied that, beyond this, on the balance of probabilities, Great Wyrley does not hold any further information. The Commissioner requires Great Wyrley to take the following step: Consider whether the information described at paragraph 51 of this notice can be disclosed to the complainant, and issue an appropriate response to him, under the EIR.
EIR 5(1):
Complaint upheld
Decision notice: 93214
