The complainant requested information about the calculation of rent in respect of properties which, in the opinion of the Council, were of a similar size to their own property. Wealden District Council (the Council) stated that it did not hold recorded information concerning the opinion of its officers, however, the Council provided the complainant with other information concerning the calculation of rent. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council does not hold any further recorded information falling within the scope of the request. However, in failing to respond to the request within the statutory timescale, the Commissioner has determined that the Council breached section 10(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken.
