The complainant has requested from the Environment Agency (EA) information relating to Kingmoor Energy Recovery Facility and the correspondence and communications between the EA and the permit applicant and/or agent, Fortum Carlisle Ltd (FCL) since the submission of a referenced permit application. The EA provided some information in response to the request, withholding other information under regulation 12(5)(e) EIR - commercial or industrial information and regulation 12(5)(f) EIR – interests of the information provider. The EA also withheld some personal information. The Commissioner’s decision is that the EA has correctly cited regulation 12(5)(e) and that the public interest favoured maintaining the exception at the time the request was made. However, by failing to provide all the relevant information within the required timescales, the EA has breached regulation 5(2) EIR.
EIR 5(2):
Complaint upheld
EIR 12(5)(e):
Complaint not upheld
