East Riding of Yorkshire Council
- Date 6 June 2013
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld
The complainant requested information from East Riding of Yorkshire Council (“the council”) relating to a particular planning application. The council refused to comply on the basis that the requests were manifestly unreasonable and regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (“the EIR”) therefore applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that the council responded correctly. The requests were manifestly unreasonable and the public interest did not favour disclosure. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2013/0122 dismissed.
