The complainant requested information from Norfolk County Council (the Council) regarding details provided for an investigation which relate to the project to develop a waste incinerator in Norfolk.
The Council provided information which contained some redactions in accordance with regulations 12(3) and 13(1) (third party personal data) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was correct to apply regulations 12(3) and 13(1) to withhold some of the information. However, the Commissioner finds that the Council breached regulation 11 of the EIR by failing to carry out an internal review within the statutory time limit. The Commissioner does not require any steps to be taken as a result of this decision. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2019/0313 Appeal Allowed in Part.
