The complainant has requested information a proof of ownership certificate on a piece of land relating to a planning application made to the council. The council provided details which it holds on the planning application and argue that it has disclosed the certificate it holds, however the complainant disputes that this is a valid ownership certificate. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on a balance of probabilities, the council has disclosed the information which it holds to the complainant. She therefore considers that the council complied with the requirements of Regulation 5. She has however decided that the council did not comply with Regulation 5(2) in that it did not disclose some of the information which fell within the scope of the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
