The complainant submitted a request to Havant Borough Council for information about a loft conversion at his property. The Council levied a charge for providing some information, and stated that the remainder of the requested information was not held. The Commissioner has investigated and concluded that the Council has disclosed all of the information that it holds within the scope of the complainant’s request. However, the Council has breached regulation 8(3) by levying an excessive charge for providing information, and regulation 14(3)(a) by failing to cite the correct exception when stating information was not held. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further action. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0257 struck out.
