Inspection of Environmental Information Regulations 2004 Property Information

The Inspection of Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) give people a right of access to information about the activities of public authorities that relate to or affect the environment, unless there is good reason for them not to have the information.

Environmental information is any information on:

  • the state of the elements of the environment and the interaction among these elements
  • factors affecting or likely to affect those elements
  • measures or activities affecting or likely to affect those factors or elements, or designed to protect those elements
  • reports on the implementation of environmental legislation
  • cost benefit​ and other economic analyses and assumptions used within the framework of those measures and activities
  • the state of human health and safety, conditions of human life, cultural sites and built structures in as much as they are or may be affected by those elements

Some environmental information is already freely available on this website. In these cases a formal request for information is not required as research can be made directly on the internet without cost. Where the Council receives an EIR request to supply information, appropriate fees may apply. The Regulations require that EIR information is provided within 20 working days, however this deadline can be extended to 40 working days where the request is both complex and a large amount of information is required.
