HS2 Ltd
The complainant has requested information relating to a report on the safety case for the Chiltern Tunnel section of the High Speed 2 (HS2) railway. High Speed Two Limited (HS2 Ltd) has withheld the information under regulation 12(4)(d) (material still in the course of completion), regulation 12(5)(a) (public safety), and regulation 13(1) (personal data) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is HS2 Ltd correctly withheld the requested information under the exception at regulation 12(4)(d) and the public interest favoured maintaining this exception. However, HS2 Ltd breached regulation 14(2) as it did not refuse the request within the required timescale. HS2 Ltd also breached regulation 11 as it did not carry out the internal review and notify the complainant of the outcome within the required timescale. The Commissioner does not require HS2 Ltd to take any remedial steps.EIR 11: Complaint upheld EIR 12(4)(d): Complaint not upheld EIR 14(2): Complaint upheld
