Amber Valley Borough Council

The complainant has requested information relating to a specified planning reference from Amber Valley Borough Council (“the council”) . The council disclosed some information, provided links to other information and said that this was all of the information it holds. The complainant considered further information should be held, and questioned the manner in which the information was disclosed. The Commissioner’s decision is that, on the balance of probabilities, the council does not hold any further environmental information falling within the scope of the request for the purposes of Regulation 5(1) of the EIR. However he has also decided that the council failed to comply with Regulation 5(2) of the EIR by not providing the requested information within 20 working days, and that it failed to comply with Regulation 11(4) in failing to provide a review response within 40 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
