Braintree District Council

The complainant requested information from Braintree District Council relating to a site in Sible Hedingham. The Commissioner’s decision is that the public authority breached regulation 11 of the EIR, as it failed to carry out its internal review within 40 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps to be taken. The public authority must reconsider how it responded to the original request and inform the complainant of the outcome in accordance with its obligations under the EIR.
