Response
I am writing in response to your request for information, received 25 February 2026, regarding Request for documents: SW/NRA-SW-3505/002.
We respond to requests for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Environmental Information Regulations 2004.
Please find the requested permit attached to this response.
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.
Please note that we are withholding personal details due to the Data Protection Laws in Regulation 13(1) of the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, which explains that:
“To the extent that the information requested includes personal data of which the applicant is not the data subject, a public authority must not disclose the personal data if—
(a) the first condition is satisfied…”
The ‘first condition’ referred to above is further explained in Regulation 13(2A):
“The first condition is that the disclosure of the information to a member of the public otherwise than under these Regulations—
(a) would contravene any of the data protection principles…”
The First Data Protection Principle requires that we are fair to individuals when we collect, hold and use their personal data. In this case it would be unfair to disclose information that would identify individuals who have a reasonable expectation that such information held by the Environment Agency would remain confidential.
(ii) It is the responsibility of the licensee to ensure that data they hold is accurate and up to date.
