The complainant has requested recorded information relating to different types of statutory notices issued by Devon County Council, notably under the Highways Act 1980. The Council refused to comply with the complainant’s request in reliance of section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information sought by the complainant constitutes environmental information and therefore falls to be considered under the EIR. He finds that Devon County Council is entitled to rely on Regulation 12(4)(b) as its grounds for refusing to comply with the request on the basis that it would be manifestly unreasonable to do so. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further action in this matter.
EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld
