North East Lincolnshire Council

The complainant requested information with regards to flooding at a local park. North East Lincolnshire Borough Council (the council) responded that the information was not held. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the information is not held. But she did find that the council breached regulations 14(2) and 14(3)(a) in not issuing a valid refusal notice in accordance with the EIR. As the Commissioner has found the information is not held, she does not require any steps.
