Peabody Trust

The complainant requested information relating to compulsory purchase orders. Peabody Trust refused to provide the information as it said it was not a public authority and hence not subject to the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that Peabody Trust is not a public authority for the purposes of the EIR and was therefore not obliged to respond to the request. As Peabody Trust is not a public authority the Commissioner would be unable to require any remedial steps.
