Introduction

Introduction

This was an appeal against the Decision Notice which, for current purposes, concluded (in summary) that the Authority was entitled to withhold some of the Requested Information pursuant to regulation 12(5)(e).

We considered whether it was necessary for us to provide a closed decision. We concluded that it would not be necessary, on the basis that the reasoning behind this decision can be sufficiently understood without us needing to refer to the specific details of, or disclose any sensitive aspects of, the material in the closed bundle.
