Rural Payments and Inspections Division's (RPID) Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening of Galloway Field: EIR release
Information requested
A copy of RPID’s EIA screening opinion for a particular field.
Response
I enclose a copy of the information you requested.
An exception under regulation 11(2) of the EIRs (personal information) applies to some of the information requested because it is personal data of a third party (ie. names, addresses, phone numbers, etc) and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018. This exception is not subject to the ‘public interest test’, so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exception.
