  • Decision(s) EIR 13: Not upheld

The complainant made a request for information relating to a fire that occurred at a site in Staffordshire.  The Environment Agency provided the complainant with some information but withheld some information under regulation 12(5)(b), 12(5)(e), 12(5)(f) and 13 EIR. The Complainant was dissatisfied with the application of exceptions to four particular pieces of withheld information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Environment Agency has correctly applied regulation 13 EIR to the fours documents being withheld. The Commissioner requires no steps to be taken.
