North Northamptonshire Council

The complainant has requested ecological surveys in respect of a planning application. North Northamptonshire Council stated that the information was held but already publicly available for the purposes of regulation 6(1)(b) (information already publicly available) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has not demonstrated that the information is already publicly available. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: Issue a fresh response to the request under the terms of the EIR. If the Council applies regulation 6(1)(b) again, it should specifically direct the complainant to those documents it considers relevant to the request.

EIR 6(1)(b): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 265222
