Response

Response date

Response #1 (3 February 2022)

Apologies for the delay in coming back to you regarding EIR request 2021-160. We have located the documents you requested, and you can download the ones that are not listed as confidential on the Scheme of Publication using this link, which will remain active for one week [note: the documents linked to are available below]. They will be made available on the NLWA website in the meantime.

We are reviewing the documents that are listed as confidential to determine which can be released. I will notify you of the outcome.

If you have any queries about this request, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Response #2 (25 April 2022)

Apologies again for the delay in coming back to you on EIR request 2021-160.

We have now completed our review of the documents you requested that were listed as confidential on the Scheme of Publication and determined that we can release all of them except for Appendix G (Market Sounding) of the Outline Business Case. This document contains information that was provided by companies approached as part of a market sounding exercise that is commercially confidential and the exception set out in regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR therefore applies. Further, as it would not be practical for the Authority to contact each of the companies approached as part of the exercise to establish whether they are content for their responses to be released, the exception set out in regulation 12(4)(b) of the EIR also applies, owing to the burden it would place on the Authority’s resources.

In Appendix LL (WIDP Scrutiny Clarifications), we have redacted information relating to LondonEnergy Ltd (then LondonWaste Ltd) on the basis that it is commercially confidential and the exception set out in regulation 12(5)(e) of the EIR therefore applies.

In addition, we have redacted personal information in some of the documents in line with the Data Protection Act 2018.

I have split the documents into two batches, the first of which, ‘Batch 02’, is attached to this email. I will shortly send you a further email with ‘Batch 03’.

If you have any queries, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Response #3 (25 April 2022)

Please find attached ‘Batch 03’ of the documents requested.
