Amber Valley Borough Council (Decision Notice): ICO 26 Mar 2013

The complainant requested 4 reports and confidential background papers regarding the Ripley Gateway Development. The council claimed that the information is exempt under Regulations 12(4)(e) (internal communications), 12(5)(d) (confidentiality of proceedings), 12(5)(e) (commercial confidentiality) and 12(5)(f) (voluntary supply). On review it provided the majority of the information to the complainant however it continued to redact figures and a small number of paragraphs from the information it disclosed. It also applied Regulation 13 (personal data of a third party). The Commissioner’s decision is that Amber Valley Borough Council was correct to apply the exception in 12(4)(e) to some information and 12(5)(e) to the remaining information. As such he has not considered the application the other exceptions claimed. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
