Canal and River Trust
The complainant has requested the Canal and River Trust (the trust) to disclose a copy of report 445, which provided an update to the board at the meeting of 21 November 2019 on the situation at, and plans for, Toddbrook Reservoir in Whaley Bridge. The trust refused to disclose the requested information citing regulation 12(4)(e) of the EIR. During the Commissioner’s investigation the trust claimed a late reliance on regulation 12(4)(b) and 12(5)(a) of the EIR. The Commissioner first considered the trust’s application of regulation 12(4)(b) and decided that this exception is not engaged. She then went on to consider the application of regulation 12(4)(e). The Commissioner decided that this exception is engaged and that the public interest rests in maintaining this exception. As she decided that 12(4)(e) had been correctly applied she did not go on to consider regulation 12(5)(a). The Commissioner does not require any further action to be taken.EIR 12(4)(e): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint upheld
