The complainant requested from the public authority information relating to canal and waterways maintenance. The public authority provided part of the information to the complainant while refusing the remainder on grounds of cost and that a proportion of the information was not held. The public authority carried out an internal review and upheld its original decision. The Commissioner has investigated and finds that the request is for environmental information and as such should have been dealt with under the EIR.
