The complainant has requested information associated with activity at a particular site. The Environment Agency (EA) released some information and relied on regulation 13(1) of the EIR (third party personal data) to withhold other information. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The EA is not obliged to confirm or deny it holds any information falling within the scope of the request under regulation 13(5)(a) of the EIR, as to do so would release the personal data of a third party. The Commissioner does not require the EA to take any remedial steps.
