Forestry Commission England
3 August 2017, Central government
In a series of multi-part requests, the complainant, on behalf of a local Parish Council, has requested information about a restoration programme at Harvestslade Bottom, New Forest. The Forestry Commission has categorised the requests as ‘manifestly unreasonable’ under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR, by virtue of being vexatious requests, and has refused to comply with them. It considers the public interest favours maintaining this exception. The Commissioner’s decision is that the requests are manifestly unreasonable and the public interest favours maintaining the exception. The Commissioner does not require the public authority to take any steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.
EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld
