Bridgend County Borough Council (Decision Notice) [2013] UKICO FER0478900 (25 July 2013)
Summary: The complainant requested various information regarding the decision to close the Berwyn Centre. Bridgend County Borough Council (BCBC) refused to comply with the request by virtue of regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (-˜the EIR-™) on the basis that the costs of complying with the request made it manifestly unreasonable. The Commissioner-™s decision is that BCBC has incorrectly relied on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner has also recorded a breach of regulaton 9(2)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner requires BCBC to issue a fresh response under the EIR to the complainant-™s request without relying on regulation 12(4)(b); and where appropriate, provide assistance to the complainant in refining his request in compliance with regulation 9(2)(b).
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: EIR 9 - Complaint Upheld, EIR 12.4.b - Complaint Upheld
