Stafford Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2010] UKICO FER0281858 (15 September 2010)
Summary: The complainant submitted a 14 page letter to the Council attaching 9 separate requests for information relating to a piece of land near to his property used as public open space. The Council responded to the request citing regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR and advised the complainant that it considered the request to be manifestly unreasonable. As the complainant remained dissatisfied he approached the Commissioner for the matter to be given formal consideration. The Commissioner investigated the issues raised and concluded that the complainant-™s request is manifestly unreasonable and that the Council was correct to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 12.4.b - Complaint Not upheld
