Oxfordshire County Council

The complainant requested information from Oxfordshire County Council (“the Council”) regarding the location and depth of utilities infrastructure at a planned road junction. The Council refused to provide the requested information, citing regulation 12(5)(a) of the EIR as its basis for doing so, specifically on the grounds that to disclose the withheld information would adversely affect public safety. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has failed to demonstrate that the exception at regulation 12(5)(a) of the EIR is engaged. The Commissioner requires the Council to disclose the withheld information to ensure compliance with the legislation.

EIR 12(5)(a): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 277492
