The complainant made a request that related to correspondence, files, meetings, working methods and employees for the period 1 January 1998 to 13 March 2015 concerning the Council’s planning compliance with National Grid defined safety protocols. The Council responded to the request with some information and a refusal notice for the remainder; however it took longer than 20 working days to do so. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR for failing to respond within 20 working days and regulation 14(2) of the EIR because it did not provide a refusal notice within 20 working days. There are no steps to take.
EIR 5(2): Upheld EIR 14(2): Upheld
