The complainant requested any communications between the Planning Inspectorate and DEFRA or any other third parties regarding an inquiry it was undertaking regarding an application to de-register common land. The Planning Inspectorate withheld the information under Regulation 12(4)(e) (internal communications), and Regulation 12(5)(b) (adverse effect on the course of justice). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Planning Inspectorate was correct to withhold the information under Regulation 12(4)(e). He has therefore not considered the application of 12(5)(b) further. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2011/0160 struck out.
