The complainant requested minutes of the meetings of a group set up by the public authority in relation to the regeneration of Roman Road East District Centre. The public authority withheld the information on the basis of the exemptions at sections 36(2)(b) (i) & (ii) and 36(2)(c) of the Act. The Commissioner found that the request should have been addressed under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (the EIR). He therefore ordered the public authority to either disclose the information or respond to the request in accordance with its responsibilities under the EIR.
