The complainant requested information from Warwick District Council ("the Council") relating to planning applications and paragraph 84 of the National Planning Policy Framework. The Commissioner's decision is that the Council is entitled to rely on regulation 12(4)(b) to refuse to provide the requested information. However, he finds that the Council failed to provide reasonable advice and assistance and therefore failed to meet its obligations under regulation 9 of the EIR. The Commissioner requires the Council to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation. Provide the complainant with advice and assistance to help them submit a less burdensome request. The Council must take these steps within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision notice. Failure to comply may result in the Commissioner making written certification of this fact to the High Court pursuant to section 54 of the Act and may be dealt with as a contempt of court.
