The complainant has asked Brighton and Hove City Council for copies of the presentations from the six applicants for the development of Hove’s King Alfred Leisure Centre. The Council has confirmed that it does not hold copies of presentations but it does hold the two Outline Solutions and the two Final Tenders. The Council has refused to provide this information to the complainant in reliance on Regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that Brighton and Hove City Council has properly applied Regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR to the Outline Solutions and Final Tenders it holds.
EIR 12(5)(e): Not upheld
