The complainant requested information from Babergh District Council regarding Nayland Airfield. The council refused to comply with the request on the basis that it was manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 and the public interest favoured maintaining the exception. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council correctly relied on regulation 12(4)(b) and that the public interest favoured maintaining the exception in this case. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0107 dismissed.
