"We follow the original line that it is reasonable and proportionate to publish the names and addresses of people commenting about planning applications since they are publicly accessible anyway."
But is it necessary ? Particularly having regard to the principles of minimisation and anonymisation.
It is necessary to have it on the public record as that is a legal requirement. That does not make it necessary to publish. Is there a 'pressing social need' to do so?
Bear in mind also that over the last few years there has been a considerable shift from emphasising the "no unwarranted prejudice" limb of Cd 6 to starting off with legitimate interest, then necessity. cf FOI decisions on this.
