Requests for Environmental Information

The Environmental Information Regulations 2004 set out enforceable regulations that govern the public's right to access environmental information held by public authorities including local authorities.

Environmental information covered by the regulations includes the state of the air, atmosphere, water, soil, land, landscape, as well as factors affecting the above elements such as substances, energy, noise, radiation or waste, emissions, discharges into the environment.

We have an established service in responding to requests for environmental information from the public, solicitors, consultants and other interested parties.

Requests should ideally be in writing, including specific questions of the information required. Written responses will normally be made within 20 days and are subject to a set fee.

Further details on the information held, fees and service can be obtained by using the contact details below.
