- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld
The complainant has requested information relating to applications and approvals for work to be carried out on a watercourse. Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council disclosed some information but confirmed that it did not hold a specific receipt.
The Commissioner’s decision is that Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council was correct to state that it does not hold the requested information. The Commissioner therefore considers that Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council has not breached regulation 12(4)(a) (Information not held at the time of the request) of the EIR.
The Commissioner does not require Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council to take any steps as a result of this decision. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2019/0246 appeal dismissed.
