- Decision(s) EIR 11.4: Upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant requested information related to a particular planning application. The Commissioner’s decision is that London Borough of Croydon (“the London Borough”) has failed to carry out a reconsideration (internal review) of the way it handled the request for information within 40 working days and also failed to respond to the request within 20 working days. It has therefore breached Regulations 11(4) and 5(2) of the EIR. The Commissioner requires the London Borough to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: reconsider how it handled the original request and inform the complainant of the outcome of that reconsideration in accordance with Regulation 11 of the EIR.
