Leeds City Council

The complainant has requested information about the Elmet Greenway.  The Council refused the request under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR – that it was manifestly unreasonable.  The Commissioner’s decision is that Leeds City Council has correctly applied regulation 12(4)(b) to the request dated 22 May 2018 and that the public interest in maintaining the exception outweighs the public interest in disclosure.  The Commissioner also finds that the Council breached regulation 11(4) by failing to respond to the review request within 40 working days but did not breach regulation 5(2) as it provided its request response by the twentieth working day.  As the Council has now provided a review response, it is not required to take any steps to comply with the legislation.

EIR 11(4): Complaint upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld EIR 5(2): Complaint not upheld
