Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (Central Government): ICO 25 Jul 2019

The complainant has requested EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) and DEC (Display Energy Certificate) data, as the current dataset, which is available via an open access database is around 2 years out of date. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (‘MHCLG’) withheld the information on the basis of regulation 12(5)(c) – intellectual property rights. The Commissioner’s decision is that the MHCLG has failed to demonstrate that regulation 12(5)(c) is engaged. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Disclose the information withheld under Regulation 12(5)(c).
