  • Date 14 December 2022
  • Sector Local government
  • Decision(s) EIR 12.4.b: Not upheld

The complainant has requested information on local Conservation Area Appraisals and related material. South Cambridgeshire District Council (‘SCDC’) referred the complainant to some information on the general subject, which was in the public domain. However, it refused the request, citing regulation 12(4)(b) (manifestly unreasonable request) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that SCDC was entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) to refuse the request. The Commissioner requires no steps as a result of this decision. First-tier tribunal (General Regulatory chamber) information rights appeal EA/2023/0135 appeal dismissed.
