Environmental Information Regulations policy

Summary

The Policy is designed to ensure that there are clear internal arrangements for the effective management and release of information.

Environmental Information held by Great Yarmouth Borough Council can be requested under the Environmental Information Regulations. This is a complimentary, but separate piece of legislation to the Freedom of Information Act. Environmental Information is classified as exempt under the FOI Act simply because the EI Regulations should be used to access the information instead. It is the public authority's duty to determine what type of information is being requested, and therefore which legislation a request falls under.
