23 February 2015, Local government (County council)
The complainant asked Flintshire County Council whether it had any objections to the clearance of vegetation from an area surrounding a number of specific Grade II listed buildings and whether it had any objection to the location of a shipping container in one of those buildings. Flintshire County Council initially informed the complainant that it did not hold relevant information, however following the intervention of the Commissioner it subsequently provided information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that Flintshire County Council failed to comply with its obligations under regulation 5(2) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
EIR 5: Upheld
