- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld, EIR 13.1: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has made a request to Bristol City Council (“the council”) for public objections to a proposed ‘residents parking scheme’ (“the RPS”). The council withheld the information under regulation 12(4)(b) and regulation 13(1) of the Environmental Information Regulations (“the EIR”). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(b) and regulation 13(1). However the council breached regulation 5(2) by failing to provide a response to the request within 20 working days. The Commissioner does not require steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2016/0017 disposed of by consent order.
