Warrington Borough Council
The complainant has requested information relating to work done on his property and attached buildings. The council initially applied section 12 after estimating that providing the information would exceed the appropriate limit. During the Commissioner's investigation it reconsidered the request and said that, on reflection, no information is held falling within the scope of the complainant's request. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request was for environmental information and should have been considered under the EIR. She has also decided, however, that the council was correct to state that no information is held falling within the scope of the complainant's request for information; Regulation 12(4)(a) was therefore applicable. She has also decided that the council did not comply with the requirements of Regulation 5(2) in that it did not tell the complainant that no information was held within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any stepsEIR 5(2): Complaint upheld EIR 12(4)(a): Complaint not upheld
