Newry, Mourne and Down District Council

The complainant submitted an information request to Newry, Mourne & Down District Council (“the Council”) relating to evidence provided by applicants in a public right of way dispute. The Commissioner’s decision is that the complainant’s request can be categorised as manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR, by virtue of cost, and the public interest favours maintaining this exception. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any steps as a result of this decision notice.
