- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, EIR 9: Upheld
The complainant requested information with regards to the need for Grade A offices. City of York Council (the council) responded that it did not hold the requested information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the request is for environmental information and that the council does not hold the requested information as per regulation 12(4)(a) of the EIR. The Commissioner did find that the council should have provided advice and assistance in accordance with regulation 9 of the EIR in order to provide some clarity to why the specific information requested was not held. As this clarity has been provided by the council to the Commissioner in response to her enquiries, the Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
