The complainant has requested information from the City of London (‘CoL’) relating to a proposed development of the City of London School for Girls (‘CLSG’). CoL has explained that it is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA in respect of the information described in the request. It has therefore refused to respond to this request under the FOIA although it has corresponded with the complainant and other local residents on this matter outside of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that CoL is not a public authority for the purposes of the FOIA in respect of the information described in the request. She therefore upholds CoL’s position and requires no steps to be taken in this case.
