The complainant has requested information relating to the improvements agreed for the Redcliffe Bay Petroleum Storage Depot (the depot). The Environment Agency (EA) released some information but refused to disclose the majority of information citing regulations 12(5)(a) and 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner has decided that regulation 12(5)(a) of the EIR applies in this case. However, the Commissioner has decided that she has received insufficient evidence from the EA to demonstrate that regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR applies so she requires the EA to disclose the requested information withheld under this exception.
EIR 12(5)(a): Not upheld EIR 12(5)(e): Not upheld
