The complainant requested information from the City of York Council (“the Council”) relating to breaches of planning conditions. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has failed to respond to the request within 20 working days and has therefore breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR.

The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation.

  • The Council must issue a substantive response to the request in accordance with its obligations under the EIR.

The Council must take these steps within 35 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
