  • Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld

The complainant has asked Cheshire East Council for a list of all traffic schemes where a number of specified traffic orders have been approved but not yet implemented. The Council has confirmed that it holds the information which the complainant seeks but has refused to disclose this on the Grounds that the request is manifestly unreasonable. The Commissioner’s decision is that Cheshire East Council is entitled to rely on Regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR to refuse to comply with the complainant’s request. She accepts the Council’s position that the request is manifestly unreasonable and finds that the public interest favours the Council’s position.
