ICO The complainant submitted two requests to Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (‘the Council’) both of which sought information about a particular development in the area. In response to these requests the Council provided the complainant with some information and relied on section 12 of the FOIA to refuse to provide any further information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information requested constitutes environmental information and the correct access regime is the EIR. The Commissioner requires the Council to reconsider both requests under the EIR and either disclose the information requested or issue a valid refusal notice in accordance with regulation 14 of the EIR.
