The complainant has requested information about enforcement action in relation to a breach of planning control. The Council supplied some information but withheld the remainder, citing the exemption in section 30(1)(b) of the FOIA – (investigations and proceedings). The Commissioner’s decision is that South Cambridgeshire District Council has correctly engaged section 30(1)(b) of the FOIA and that the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner does not therefore require the council to take any steps.
