Telford and Wrekin Council
The complainant has requested information relating to a drainage scheme. The request was refused as Manifestly Unreasonable. The Commissioner’s decision is that Telford & Wrekin Council has failed to demonstrate that the exception is engaged and is thus not entitled to rely on Regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR (Manifestly Unreasonable) to refuse the request. She also finds that the Council’s original refusal notice failed to meet the requirements of Regulation 14 of the EIR and the Council therefore also breached that regulation. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: issue a fresh response to the request which does not rely on Regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR.EIR 14: Complaint upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint upheld
