SIC Installation of cavity wall insulation – On 20 October 2013, Ms Wilson asked the City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) for information relating to the proposed installation of cavity wall insulation at a specified address. The Council informed Ms Wilson that the request was manifestly unreasonable and the information was therefore excepted from disclosure in terms of regulation 10(4)(b) of the EIRs.
The Commissioner found that the Council had failed to deal with Ms Wilson’s request for information in accordance with the EIRs, by incorrectly withholding information under the exception in regulation 10(4)(b) of the EIRs. She required the Council to respond to Ms Wilson’s requirement for review otherwise than in terms of regulation 10(4)(b).
