South Gloucestershire Council

  • Date 18 July 2018
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) EIR 12.4.d: Not upheld, EIR 14.3: Upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld

The complainant has requested information relating to a proposed development. South Gloucestershire Council disclosed some information and withheld the reminder, citing regulation 12(4)(d) (material in the course of completion) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that South Gloucestershire Council has cited regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR appropriately. However, she considers that SGC has breached regulations 5(2) (time for compliance) and 14(3) (refusal to disclose information) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require South Gloucestershire Council to take any steps following this decision notice. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2018/0150 dismissed.
