The complainant requested information relating to emissions and authorisations relating to an Energy from Waste facility (an EfW). The council refused some parts of the request on the basis that Regulation 12(4)(b) applied (manifestly unreasonable) and refused other parts on the basis that the information is not held (Regulation 12(4)(a)). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply Regulation 12(4)(b) to the information. She has also decided that the council is correct to apply Regulation 12(4)(a) on the basis that no further information is held by it. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
