Withernsea Town Council

The complainant requested information held by Withernsea Town Council (the Council) relating to the maintenance of trees and hedges. The Council refused the request, citing regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR, which concerns manifestly unreasonable requests. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council was not entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) to refuse to comply with the request. However, following a First Tier Tribunal appeal of a previous request, the Council has provided the complainant with all recorded information falling within the scope of the current request. The Commissioner does not therefore order the Council to take any steps.

EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 272662
