I have always insisted on enough information to make an proper decision on the release of data and never had any problems when I have gone back for a better form. My take on this process is that, if I have enough 'evidence' that the data controller has made an 'informed decision' the Data Controller is protected from a potential cry of unlawful disclosure

Subject: Re: [data-protection] Friday observation on why s29(3) forms need to be completed (paperwork makes due process work which means the law works :))
In our Authority, if, for whatever reason, a police officer doesn't wish to put sufficient detail on to a s.29 form, we require that the form is counter-signed by a DI or above as confirmation/verification that the request is legitimate and necessary.
We appreciate that there may be circumstances in which the police may not wish to disclose certain information relating to an investigation and this ensures that this only occurs where considered absolutely necessary (and puts the onus back on the police if they are challenged on it further down the line).
