21 June 2017, Local government (County council)
The complainant has requested correspondence between the owner of a piece of land and the council in relation to a complaint that was made about the conversion of the site to a commercial shooting site without the benefit of planning permission. The council refused to disclose the requested information citing regulation 13 of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly applied regulation 13 of the EIR in this case. She therefore does not require any further action to be taken.
EIR 13: Not upheld
