Gateshead Council
The complainant has requested all documents relating to building regulations for a specific address from Gateshead Council (“the Council”). The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to refuse the request as being manifestly unreasonable under the exception at regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR, and that the balance of the public interest lies in the exception being maintained. However, the Council breached regulation 14(2) of the EIR as it failed to issue a valid refusal notice to the complainant within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps.EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld EIR 14(2): Complaint upheld
