Environmental information regulations

The EIR are legally enforceable regulations that govern the public's right to access environmental information held by public authorities including local authorities. Environmental information covered by the regulations includes the state of the air, atmosphere, water, soil, land, landscape, as well as factors affecting the above elements such as substances, energy, noise, radiation or waste, emissions, discharges into the environment.

We will deal with your request as quickly as we can, and will aim to let you have a full response at the latest within 20 working days. If for any reason we are unable to let you have a response within 20 working days we will contact you as soon as possible explaining the reasons for this.

We will aim to provide information free of charge wherever we can. However, it is possible that we may need to charge for requests, and in some cases refuse them, if providing the information would involve a substantial diversion of resources. In such circumstances we will always provide advice and assistance to help applicants narrow down or clarify their request before charging or refusing the request.
The Act and the Regulations do not entitle applicants to free copies of priced Government publications, or to free use of services for which there is normally a charge.
