The complainant has requested recorded information from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council which concerns the disposal or the proposed disposal of a golf course which is occupied by the Belvedere Golf Club. Specifically, the complainant has asked for any documents, letters, emails, meetings and telephone call notes which refer to the Golf Club, or to any developer or developer’s agent. The Council has refused the complainant’s request on the grounds that the information he seeks is subject to an application of Regulations 12(5)(b) and 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the East Riding of Yorkshire Council has correctly applied the exceptions to disclosure provided by Regulations 12(5)(b) and 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Council is therefore entitled to withhold the information which the complainant has asked for.
EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(5)(b): Complaint not upheld
