Hampshire County Council
The complainant has requested information regarding a proposal for a Materials Recovery Facility in the county. Hampshire County Council responded to the request, but the complainant sought a reconsideration (internal review) of that response – which the Council had yet to complete at the date of this notice. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has failed to carry out a reconsideration (internal review) of a response it provided, under the Environmental Information Regulations, within 40 working days and has therefore breached Regulation 11 of the EIR. As the Council failed to respond to the request within 20 working days, it also breached Regulation 5(2) of the EIR. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Reconsider how it responded to the original request and inform the complainant of the outcome of that reconsideration in accordance with Regulation 11 of the EIR.EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld EIR 11: Complaint upheld
