North Sunderland Harbour Commissioners

- Sector Other
- Decision(s) EIR 2.1: Not upheld
The complainant has requested various items of information from North Sunderland Harbour Commissioners (‘NSHC’). NSHC accepted that it was subject to the EIR but stated that the majority of the requested information wasn’t environmental. The Commissioner’s decision is that the information NSHC hasn’t provided to the complainant isn’t environmental information and therefore NSHC isn’t obliged by the EIR to provide it. As the information isn’t environmental and NSHC isn’t covered by FOIA, the Commissioner is unable to instruct NSHC to take any corrective steps. First-tier tribunal (General Regulatory chamber) information rights appeal EA/2023/0338 appeal allowed in part.
