Environmental Information Regulations
You have the right to request environmental information. Requests can be made under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (EIRs) and they work in a similar way to Freedom of Information requests.
You can make an EIR request or request assistance to make a request simply by contacting us. Unlike a Fredom of Information (Scotland) request, your request does not need to be in writing. When you request environmental information from us, we will provide it to you within 20 working days or if the information requested is complex and voluminous 40 working days.
Charges may apply if you request a lot of information or if the information would take us a long time to produce. See our Schedule of Fees.
Occasionally there will be reasons why we cannot provide the information you have requested. If that is the case we will tell you why. You can challenge our decision and ask us to review our response. If you are unhappy after the review, you can appeal directly to the Scottish Information Commissioner.
