South Leverton Parish Council

The complainant has requested from South Leverton Parish Council (SLPC) copies of feedback forms collected by its Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group, following a ‘Call for Land’. SLPC refused 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 SLPC was entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR to refuse the request. However, by failing to conduct an internal review it breached regulation 11(4) of the EIR.
