Conservators of Therfield Heath and Greens
2 October 2017, Other
The complainant has requested records relating to the election of trustees of the Therfield Regulation. In response the Conservators of Therfield Heath and Greens (the Conservators) volunteered information which they considered relevant to the request. However the Conservators went on to explain that they are not a public authority for the purposes of the EIR and are therefore not bound by the EIR. They also argued that in any event the requested information was not environmental information and therefore even if they were a public authority they would not be under any obligation to provide the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Conservators are a public authority for the purposes of the EIR. However as the Commissioner also finds that the requested information is not environmental information the Conservators are not required to take any further action in this matter.
EIR 2(1): Not upheld EIR 2(2): Upheld
