The complainant has requested information relating to a development of a former police station, primarily relating to heating and energy assessments. The request was initially refused by London Borough of Hillingdon (‘the Council’) as manifestly unreasonable due to the volume of information included. The Council later provided links to all the publicly available information and upon further searches provided documents relating to building control. The Commissioner’s decision is that on balance, the Council has complied with its obligations under Regulation 5(1) by providing the information it holds in scope of the request. However, the Council failed to comply with its obligations to provide this in the required timeframe and so has breached Regulation 5(2) of the EIR. No steps are required.
