The complainant requested from South Somerset District Council information on its quality management system in relation to the reviewing of planning application documents submitted by an applicant and also the production of a planning officer’s report. South Somerset District Council disclosed the information it held falling within the scope of the complainant’s request but took in excess of 20 working days in which to do so. As a result, it breached Section 10 of the FOIA. As the requested information has now been disclosed, the Commissioner does not require South Somerset District Council to take any steps.
