The complainant requested information held by the London Borough of Wandsworth (the council) relating to major works carried out on a particular property in 2020. By the date of this notice, the council had not issued a substantive response to the complainant’s request. The Commissioner considers both the FOIA and EIR to be relevant to the request. It is his decision that the council has breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR, and section 10(1) of the FOIA, by failing to provide a valid response to the complainant within the statutory time frame of 20 working days. The Commissioner requires the council to provide a substantive request to the complainant’s request in accordance with its obligations under the EIR, and the FOIA.
