Sheffield City Council

The complainant requested information relating to the felling of trees in 2018 from Sheffield City Council (“the council”). The council refused the request on the basis that Regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR applies (manifestly unreasonable request). The Commissioner’s decision is that the council was correct to apply Regulation 12(4)(b) to refuse the request, and that the public interest rests in the exception being maintained. However, the Commissioner has also decided that the council did not comply with the requirements of Regulation 11(4) in that it did not respond to the request for review within 40 working days. The Commissioner does not require further steps.

EIR 11(4): Complaint upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 207789
