The complainant requested a range of information relating to a Multi-User Games Area on Shaw Cross playing fields at Leeds Road in Dewsbury. The complainant contacted the Commissioner with concerns that drawings provided in response to one element of the request were not the information which had been asked for. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation Kirklees Council acknowledged that it had erroneously provided the wrong information and disclosed the requested information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that, in disclosing the requested information outside the time for compliance, the council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR. In failing to conduct an internal review within the time for compliance he finds that the council also breached regulation 11(4) of the EIR. As the council subsequently disclosed the information to the complainant the Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
