Summary: The complainant made a request to English Heritage for all written material in relation to structures affected by the redevelopment of London Bridge Railway Station, namely the South Eastern Railway Offices (SER Offices), the Charles Henry Driver trainshed and the flank wall on St Thomas Street. The Commissioner-™s decision is that English Heritage was entitled to rely on the exception under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR to the extent that the complainant-™s request was a repeated request for information that has already been disclosed to the complainant. He considers that the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information to the extent that the request amounted to a repeated request for information. To the extent that the scope of the complainant-™s request goes beyond the information that has been disclosed to the complainant, the Commissioner does not consider that the exception under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR is engaged. The Commissioner requires English Heritage to respond to the complainant-™s request of 25 February 2012 either providing any information within the scope of the request that has not previously been provided to the complainant or issuing a valid refusal notice under regulation 14 of the EIR citing an exception other than regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR.
