Hastings Borough Council
- Date 27 May 2022
- Sector Local government
- Decision(s) EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The complainant has requested information held by Hastings Borough Council (the council) that relates to a retaining wall constructed by the owners of a local caravan park. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the council has now provided all the information that is held that is relevant to the complainant’s request. However, as the council only located and released the information following the Commissioner’s intervention, and much later than the required 20 working days, it has breached regulation 5(2) of the EIR.
