The complainant has requested from Sheffield City Council (‘the Council’) records of environmental health officers’ visits, fields notes and records of acoustic results relating to a specific property. The Council refused the request under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR (manifestly unreasonable). The Commissioner’s decision is that the requested information is personal data and therefore should have been withheld under regulation 13(1) of the EIR. The Commissioner also finds that the Council did not comply with its obligation under regulation 5(2) of the EIR (time for compliance). The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this notice.
