ICO The complainant has requested a copy of a letter received by the council’s mayor from her chaplain in connection with a planning application in which the chaplain was an interested party. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council acted correctly in disclosing that part of the letter which related to the planning matter and in relying on the section 41 exemption to continue to withhold the remainder of the letter. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
