The complainant requested any business plans and financial forecasts related to a proposed multi-use arena, velodrome and aquatics centre development. Derby City Council (DCC) identified the information as environmental and refused to provide it relying on regulation 12(4)(d) – information still in the course of completion. The Commissioner’s decision is that DCC correctly identified the requested information as environmental and was correct to apply regulation 12(4)(d) concerning information still in the course of completion when refusing to comply with the request. The Commissioner does not require DCC to take any remedial steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
