10 August 2017, Local government (County council)
The complainant made a request for all information that Carmarthenshire County Council (‘the Council’) holds in relation to a former landfill site. The Council refused the request siting regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR however it took longer than 20 working days to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council breached regulation 14(2) of the EIR because it did not provide a refusal notice within 20 working days. There are no steps to take.
EIR 14(2): Upheld
