Cheshire West and Chester Council
The complainant requested information from Cheshire West and Chester Council (“the Council”) about the proposed development of a football stadium, hotel and sports facilities. The Council refused the request under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR, manifestly unreasonable requests, on the grounds that the request was vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was not entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR to refuse the request. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: revisit the request and either disclose the requested information or issue a fresh response that does not rely on regulation 12(4)(b).EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint upheld
