- Decision(s) EIR 11: Upheld
The complainant has requested copies of maps showing all registered common land and town or village greens within the borough. The council refused to disclose this information citing section 21 of the FOIA. The Commissioner has decided that the request should have been considered under the EIR and, because the council has failed to respond to the complainant’s request for an internal review, it has breached regulation 11 of the EIR. The Commissioner therefore requires the council to issue its response in accordance with regulation 11 of the EIR to the complainant within 35 calendar days.
