Lake District National Park Authority

The complainant has requested information on a proposed gondola between Thornthwaite and Whinlatter. The Lake District National Park Authority (LDNPA) withheld information on the basis of regulation 12(5)(e) and 12(5)(f) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the LDNPA has correctly applied the exception from disclosure at regulation 12(5)(e) to the information and the balance of the public interest favours withholding the information. No steps are therefore required. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2019/0281 allowed.
