Personal Information (Section 40,2)

Personal data of any other person (third party data) is exempt under section 40(2) if disclosure would breach of the data protection principles.  This aspect of Section 40 is an Absolute Exemption and is therefore not subject to the Public Interest Test.

This means we have balanced the legitimate interests of the public in having access to the information (under FOI a disclosure is a publication to the world at large) against the interests of the individual under the first principle of the Data Protection Act.

The information requested is personal data specific to the occupiers.  It is therefore subject to the provisions of the Data Protection Act.  Information can be withheld if its disclosure would be likely to breach one or more of the Principles of the Data Protection Act.  There is no prior expectation that their addresses would be published into the wider public domain under FOI.  A disclosure made under FOI constitutes a publication to the world at large.
