Environment Agency
The complainant has requested engineering reports on a reservoir. The above public authority eventually provided some information but relied on regulation 12(5)(a) of the EIR in order to withhold the remainder. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has correctly engaged regulation 12(5)(a) of the EIR and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining this exception. As the public authority disclosed information and issued its refusal notice outside of the 20 working day timeframe, it breached regulations 5(2) and 14 of the EIR respectively. The Commissioner does not require further steps.EIR 12(5)(a): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint upheld EIR 14: Complaint upheld
