8 June 2016, Local government (City council)
The complainant has requested information relating to Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs). The Commissioner’s decision is that Winchester City Council (WCC) has provided the complainant with all the information it holds and has therefore correctly cited regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR. However, the Commissioner notes that WCC has breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by not providing its response within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps.
EIR 5(2): Upheld EIR 12(4)(a): Not upheld
