Lincolnshire County Council
The complainant has requested from Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) all documentation (both internal and external) related to the updating of the Lincolnshire Minerals and Waste Local Plan between 10 November 2022 and 6 April 2023. LCC confirmed that it held the information requested for parts 1 and 2 of the request but refused to disclose it citing its reliance on EIR regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR - Material in the course of completion, unfinished documents and incomplete data - as its basis for doing so. LCC also cited its reliance on regulation 12(5)(a) - Information not held - for the remainder of the request (part 3). The Commissioner’s decision is that LCC has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(d) of EIR to parts 1 and 2 of the request, and that on the balance of probabilities, LCC does not hold the information for the remainder (part 3) and has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require further steps.EIR 12(4)(d): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(4)(a): Complaint not upheld
