Rother District Council
- Date 3 September 2018
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 11.4: Upheld, EIR 5.1: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to several parcels of land close to his house and also for recordings of conversations held by the Parks department. The Commissioner’s decision is that Rother District Council (“the Council”) has provided everything that it holds in relation to both requests. However, it failed to recognise the complainant’s request for an internal review as such and therefore did not complete that internal review within 40 working days, thus breaching Regulation 11(4) of the Environmental Information Regulations (“the EIR”). The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps.
