  • Decision(s) EIR 5.1: Not upheld

The complainant has requested The Crown Estate (TCE) to disclose all correspondence and communications between the King and TCE relating to wind farms/wind projects off the coast of the UK. TCE disclosed the recorded information it holds, with a small amount of information redacted under regulation 13 of the EIR. The complainant made no complaint about regulation 13 of the EIR but felt TCE must hold further recorded information to that provided. The Commissioner’s decision is that on the balance of probabilities TCE does not hold any further recorded information. The Commissioner is satisfied that TCE has complied with its obligations under regulation 5(1) of the EIR and therefore do not require any further action to be taken.
