Our Response
We have discussed your request with the Central Highland Operations Team, and their searches provided the documents attached to this response.
We have redacted out personal data from the information being released to you, as it would breach the Data Protection Act 2018, we have used the exemptions, under the EIRS, 11(1) (Personal Information) and 11(2) (Third Party Personal Information) for these redactions.
How We Handled Your Request
We believe you have asked for environmental information as defined in the Environmental Information (Scotland Regulations 2004 (‘the EIRs’), so we are dealing with your request under those regulations. To be able to use the EIRs, we must apply an exemption under section 39(2) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (‘FOISA’). The Scottish Information Commissioner’s guidance recommends that public authorities apply this exemption to environmental information and handle request under the EIRs.
If you would like to find out more about the access to information legislation, there is a guidance booklet available on the Scottish Information Commissioner’s website.
