Response
Thank you for your email requesting a copy of the following permit CTCR.1546
We respond to requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Environmental Information Regulations 2004.
We have been unable to find permit documents related to CTCR.1546. This permit was issued on 14 December 1977 and revoked on 9 October 1990. Our retention period for these documents is 3 years and we no longer hold these documents due to the length of time that has passed since it was revoked.
How we have considered your request
We have considered your request under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 / Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR). The Act requires that we respond to requests by advising you whether or not information is held, and if so by providing you with that information.
EIR Regulation 3(2) states that information is held if it is in our possession and has been produced or received by us, or it is held by another person on our behalf at the time the request is received.
Information not held
In this case, the information you have requested is not held by the Environment Agency, and we are therefore refusing your request on the grounds that there is no information we can provide.
Where a request is for environmental information, the Regulations allow us to refuse to disclose it if the exception at EIR Regulation 12(4)(a) applies. The regulation states that a public authority may refuse to disclose environmental information to the extent that it does not hold that information when an applicant’s request is received.
It is not possible for us to conduct a public interest balancing test because the reason for non-disclosure is that the information is not held.
Please refer to the Open Government Licence which explains the permitted use of this information.
Information Warnings:
(i) Personal Data in the Information is exempt from the Open Government Licence.
(ii) It is the responsibility of the licensee to ensure that data they hold is accurate and up to date.
