- Decision(s) EIR 12(4)(b): Not upheld
The complainant requested information about how Commissioners assessed and excluded monopoly value in Round 4, in relation to Offshore Wind Leasing. The Crown Estate refused the request under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR, which concerns manifestly unreasonable requests, and section 12 of FOIA in the alternative (cost exceeds the appropriate limit). The Commissioner’s decision is that The Crown Estate was entitled to refuse the request under regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
