The complainant has requested maps, reports and documents relating to the refined Meadowhall route for Phase 2b of HS2. High Speed Two Limited (HS2) sought to rely on the exception at Regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR to refuse the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information relates to material still in the course of completion and the regulation 12(4)(d) exception is engaged and the public interest favours withholding the information. The Commissioner does not require HS2 to take any steps.
EIR 12(4)(d): Not upheld
