Historic England

The complainant has requested information associated with a report they had produced for Historic England (‘HE’). They subsequently withdrew two parts of the request. HE categorised the remaining two parts of the request as manifestly unreasonable under regulation 12(4)(b) of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR). It refused to comply with these parts. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The information requested in parts 1 and 4 of the request is not environmental information and HE was incorrect to handle these parts under the EIR. Parts 1 and 4 of the complainant’s request cannot be categorised as vexatious under section 14(1) of the FOIA. The Commissioner requires HE to take the following step to ensure compliance with the legislation: Provide the complainant with a response to parts 1 and 4 of the complainant’s request that complies with the FOIA.

FOI 14: Complaint upheld

Decision notice: IC-45813-Q1C1
