- Decision(s) EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld, EIR 9(1): Not upheld
The Commissioner’s decision is that Maidstone Borough Council is entitled to refuse the complainant’s request for information about the withdrawal of a Design and Sustainability Development Plan under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR as the request is manifestly unreasonable. He also finds that there was no breach of regulation 9(1), which concerns advice and assistance. The Commissioner doesn’t require further steps.
