The complainant requested information collected as part of the Sedgeberrow Parish Neighbourhood Plan Household Survey. Sedgeberrow Parish Council (the Parish Council) refused to provide the requested information on the basis that it is personal information (section 40 of FOIA). The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information was appropriately withheld under section 40(2) of FOIA. However, he found a procedural breach of section 17 (refusal of request). The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken as a result of this decision.
