The complainant has requested from Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council (TMBC) information about action it has taken over breaches of planning conditions since 2010. TMBC disclosed some information, but said that it was not required to comply with the remainder of the request on the grounds that it was manifestly unreasonable within the meaning of regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that TMBC was entitled to refuse the request under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. She also decided that the level of advice and assistance provided by TMBC complied with the requirements of regulation 9(1) of the EIR.
