The complainant has requested a copy of the structural engineers report regarding Grenfell Tower. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) has breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to respond to this request. The Commissioner requires the public authority to issue a substantive response to the complainant under the EIR by either complying with regulation 5(1) or issuing a valid refusal notice. The public authority must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
