Make an Environmental Information Request (EIR)

How to make a request for environmental information the council holds.

You can make a request relating to any ‘environmental information’ that the council holds, and which isn’t related to personal or non-environmental data. This could relate to:

  • land development
  • planning
  • highways
  • pollution levels
  • energy production
  • trees and conservation
  • housing
  • waste management

It is worth checking our website to see if the information you have requested has not already been published by us already.

Make a request for information

Your request should describe the information you need and any time periods or departments it may relate to. Check the ICO guidance on 'What makes a valid request'.

This will help our officers to find the information quickly.

The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) gives guidance on how to access information from a public body.
