The complainant has requested information about sewage discharges. The above public authority relied on regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR in order to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority has correctly relied on regulation 12(5)(b) of the EIR and that the balance of the public interest favours maintaining this exception. The public authority breached regulation 14 of the EIR by failing to issue its refusal notice within 20 working days and regulation 11 by failing to complete its internal review within 40 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken. Keywords/themes: sewage spill dataEIR 11: Complaint upheld EIR 12(5)(b): Complaint not upheld EIR 14: Complaint upheld
