Warwick District Council

- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld, EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 9: Not upheld
The complainant requested from Warwick District Council (“the Council”) information in relation to noise nuisance complaints submitted to the Council. The Council responded by providing some information and cited regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR as the basis for refusal claiming that complying with the remaining parts of the request would exceed the costs limit.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has provided all the information it held within the scope of questions 6 and 10 and it was correct when it applied the exemption provided under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR in relation to questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9.
The Commissioner also found that the Council has complied with its duty to provide advice and assistance as required by regulation 9 of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
