Highways England

The complainant has requested Highways England (HE) to disclose information in relation to the A5036 Port of Liverpool Access Scheme. It disclosed some information but refused to disclose the remainder citing regulations 12(5)(e), 12(5)(f) and 13 of the EIR. The complainant raised no concerns in respect of regulation 13, so the Commissioner’s investigation has focussed on HE’s application of regulations 12(5)(e) and 12(5)(f) of the EIR. With regards to document 3 and HE’s application of regulation 12(5)(e), the Commissioner is satisfied that this exception applies and the public interest rests in maintaining this exception. Regarding document 5 and HE’s application of 12(5)(f) of the EIR, the Commissioner has decided that this exception does not apply. The Commissioner therefore requires HE to disclose the information redacted from document 5 under regulation 12(5)(f) to the complainant.

EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(5)(f): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: IC-45100-Y6C5
