Dear Environment Agency,

Subject: EPR/SP3609BX/A001: Communications with applicant

Dear Environment Agency,

My request is made under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004. My request concerns the Kingmoor ERF. The address is:

Land North of Kings Drive
Kingmoor Park Industrial Estate
Carlisle CA6 4SE

Please provide all correspondence (including emails and letters) and the notes/minutes/recording of any telephone conversations and the notes/minutes/recordings of any meetings (including virtual meetings) between the Environment Agency and the EPR/SP3609BX/A001 permit applicant (Fortum Carlisle Limited) and/or their agent(s) since 7 December 2020. I can see the EA has provided some of this information in response to another request (https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/f...) but I do not have the information and the link is no longer valid.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Yours faithfully,

CMBLNC Info Requests, Environment Agency

 

Good Afternoon Henry

 

Thank you for contacting the Environment Agency regarding
EPR/SP3609BX/A001: Communications with applicant.

 

We respond under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and Environmental
Information Regulations 2004.  Please refer to the [1]Open Government
Licence which explains the permitted use of this information.

 

You can download the requested information using this link. Please note
that the link will expire in 25 days.

 

[2]https://defra.sharefile.com/d-sa94c6a2df...

 

We have redacted some of the information because it is personal data.

 

The Environment Agency is not able to disclose the name of the sender,
recipient or those CC’d into the email as this is personal data under the
Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) and to disclose it would breach the
First Data Protection Principle of the DPA 2018. 

 

The information requested is therefore exempt due to 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 type of information we are refusing is personal information which can
only be disclosed to the individual concerned.  This exemption applies
because the right given under the Regulations to request official
information held by public authorities does not apply to the personal data
of third parties where disclosure of that information would not be fair to
the individual, and where there is no legitimate public interest in
disclosure.

 

You are welcome to get in touch if you have any further queries or you can
contact us within 2 months if you would like us to review the information
we have sent to you.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Customers and Engagement Team
