The complainant has requested information relating to a proposed housing development at Oaklands College. St Albans City and District Council refused to provide the requested information citing the EIR exceptions for adverse affect to commercial confidentiality (regulation 12(5)(e)) and adverse affect to the interests of the person who provided the information (regulation12(5)(f)). The Commissioner’s decision is that has failed to demonstrate that regulation 12(5)(e) and regulation 12(5)(f) are engaged. The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the withheld information.
