The complainant has requested information about the awarding of a feasibility study for the Elmet Greenway. The Council refused the request under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR – that it was manifestly unreasonable. However the Council’s refusal failed to inform the complainant of his right to appeal the Council’s decision, and of the right to appeal to the Information Commissioner. The Commissioner’s decision is that Leeds City Council has therefore breached regulation 14(5). She requires the Council to issue a fresh refusal notice that complies fully with the regulations.
