Hampshire County Council

The complainant has requested from Hampshire County Council information consisting of emails, minutes, internal memos, reports and maps which make reference to “Ranvilles Lane” . The Council considered that responding to the request would place a substantial and unreasonable burden on its resources and therefore refused the request as manifestly unreasonable, citing Regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the Council has applied Regulation 12(4)(b) to the complainant’s request correctly. She finds that the weight of the public interest lies in maintaining the Council’s application of this exception. However, the Commissioner also found that it is likely that the Council held information falling within the scope of the request that would not be environmental, which therefore should be dealt under the FOIA regime. The Commissioner requires the Council to issue a fresh response in relation to any information within the scope of the complainant’s request that falls outside the EIR regime.

EIR 9: Complaint not upheld EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: fer0740472
