- Decision(s) EIR 11: Upheld, EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information from the Environment Agency (EA) relating to the management of flood risk, water flows and water abstraction near to his property. The EA refused these requests, citing regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR, on the basis that the requests are vexatious. The Commissioner’s decision is that the EA was entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR in this case. She therefore does not require any further action to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0051 dismissed.
