Welsh Assembly Government (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FER0204414 (11 February 2010)
Summary: On 11 and 29 February 2008 the complainant made requests for information relating to the Cefn Croes Wind farm. The Welsh Assembly Government (-˜Assembly Government-™) originally refused the requests by virtue of regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR but later ceased to rely on that exception and sought to rely on section 12(4)(b). The Commissioner investigated and has determined that the Assembly Government was correct to refuse the requests by virtue of regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. However, the Commissioner found a number of procedural breaches in relation to the way the requests were handled. On 15 July 2009, during the course of the Commissioner-™s investigation, the complainant refined her request. The Assembly Government also refused the refined request by virtue of regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner investigated the handling of the refined request and has determined that the Assembly Government was correct to refuse the refined request by virtue of regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner also found a number of procedural breaches in relation to the handling of the refined request. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2010/0072 dismissed.
