Access to development site – On 7 July 2013, Mr Noble asked South Lanarkshire Council (the Council) for information relating to site access for construction traffic at a particular location in South Lanarkshire. Following a review, the Council withheld the information as personal data, disclosure of which would breach the first data protection principle.
Following an investigation, the Commissioner found that the Council had failed to respond to the first part of Mr Noble’s request and required it to do so. She also found that the Council did not hold any information falling within the scope of the second part of the request: it had wrongly identified the withheld information as relevant.
