- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld
The complainant made a request to the Environment Agency for information related to the Sunderland sewerage system. The Environment Agency refused the request on the basis that it was manifestly unreasonable under the exception from disclosure in regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR). The Commissioner has investigated the complaint and found that regulation 12(4)(b) applies and the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosure. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0101 dismissed.
