Stockton on Tees Borough Council
The complainant made a multipart request for information relating to a bid he submitted to purchase some land, several years ago. Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council (SBC) responded to the request, but the complainant remained dissatisfied with the response. The Commissioner’s decision is that SBC complied with its obligations in respect of regulation 5(1) (duty to make available environmental information available on request) of the EIR in respect of the majority of the request. However, she found that it failed to comply with this obligation in respect of part (10) of the request. She also found that it breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR by failing to respond to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner requires SBC to issue a fresh response to part (10), either disclosing the information or issuing a refusal notice which complies with regulation 14 of the EIR.
EIR 5(1):
Complaint partly upheld
EIR 5(2):
Complaint upheld
