- Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld
The complainant requested from Monmouthshire County Council (the Council) information relating to Old Monmouth Road. The Council refused the request and cited regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable) of the EIR.
The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR to refuse to comply with the request, and the public interest lies in maintaining the exception. The Commissioner does not require the Council to take any further steps as a result of this decision.
