The complainant requested information with regards to an application to register a piece of land as a new town or village green. Warwickshire County Council (the council) provided the information it held but redacted one email relying on 12(5)(b) of the EIR as it considered that the information was subject to a claim of legal professional privilege (LPP). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council is able to rely on regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR to redact the email. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
EIR 12(5)(b): Complaint not upheld
