Environment Agency
The original applicant’s father has brought this complaint to the Commissioner with his son’s authority. The notice is served on the applicant/or son but much of the notice refers to the father, as the complainant. The applicant has requested information relating to his (and his father’s) ongoing concerns and dispute with the Environment Agency (EA) concerning Shoreham-on-Sea Water Supply (operated by Southern Water). The EA has refused to comply with two requests citing regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the EA is entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR and that the public interest rests in maintaining this exception. She has however found the EA in breach of regulation 5(2) and 11 of the EIR in this case. The Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld EIR 11: Complaint upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld
