Teignbridge District Council
- Date 24 July 2019
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 11.2: Upheld, EIR 12.4.a: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested information about the relative sustainability of three building developments. Teignbridge District Council (TDC) disclosed some information and said that it did not hold the remaining information described in the request. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, TDC did not hold any further information falling within the scope of the request. However, by failing to disclose to the complainant all the information it did hold within the 20 working day time for compliance, the Commissioner finds that TDC breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR. And by failing to respond to the complainant’s request for an internal review within 40 working days, TDC breached regulation 11(2) of the EIR.
