SIC Transfer of the Brown Street Complex, Haldane by West Dunbartonshire Council: failure to respond to request for review – On 21 July 2013, Mr X asked Dunbritton Housing Association Ltd (Dunbritton) for information relating to the transfer of shops and flats in Brown Street, Haldane by West Dunbartonshire Council. Dunbritton informed Mr X that it was not covered by the EIRs and failed to respond to his subsequent requirement for review.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner was satisfied that Dunbritton was a Scottish public authority for the purposes of the EIRs and that some of the withheld information comprised environmental information. She found that Dunbritton had failed to comply with the EIRs by informing Mr X that it was not covered by the EIRs and by failing to carry out a review.
The Commissioner required Dunbritton to carry out a review and to notify Mr X of the outcome in line with regulation 16 of the EIRs.
