The complainant has asked to be given the name of a person who made a complaint to the Isle of Wight Council (‘the Council’) about alleged noise nuisance coming from the complainant’s property. The Commissioner finds that the information sought by the complainant constitutes personal data and that its disclosure would be unfair to the data subject. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council is entitled to withhold the requested information on the grounds that it is exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take no further action in this matter.
