- Decision(s) EIR 12(5)(b): Not upheld, EIR 12(5)(g): Not upheld, EIR 13: Not upheld
The complainant requested information relating to planning applications and planning enforcement matters concerning Leeds East Airport. North Yorkshire Council (the “council”) initially withheld the requested information under regulation 12(5)(d) of the EIR. During the Commissioner's investigation it withdrew its reliance on that exception, disclosed additional information and withheld the remaining information under regulations 12(5)(b), 12(5)(g) and 13. The Commissioner finds that the remaining withheld information was correctly withheld under regulations 12(5)(b), 12(5)(g) and 13 of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require the council to take any steps.
