Summary: The complainant has requested breakdown of costs and a total figure of money spent to produce Sunderland Seafront Regeneration Strategy and Marine Walk Masterplan. Sunderland City Council (the -�Council-�) initially considered the information to be caught by the Environmental Information Regulations (-�EIR-�) and refused to provide the information on the grounds that the request was manifestly unreasonable (EIR Regulation 12(4)(b). During the course of the Commissioner-�s investigation, it argued that the information was not environmental but that it could rely on section 12 (Cost of compliance) of the FOIA as its basis for refusal. The Commissioner-�s decision is that the Council can rely on section 12 as its basis for refusing the request. No steps are required.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 12 - Complaint Not upheld
