Information request and response under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004

Information requested

I request sight of all subsequent minutes, letters, emails and other communications between the Office of the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity, Transport Scotland, Amey Arup and any other Statutory Consultee or Stakeholder in relation to this meeting and the proposals presented by A96 Action.

Response

The information you have requested can be found in Annex A.
While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance we are unable to provide some of the information you have requested because an exception(s) under regulation(s) 11(2) of the EIRs applies to that information.
An exception under regulation 11(2) of the EIRs (personal information) applies to some of the information requested because it is personal data of a third party and disclosing it would contravene the data protection principles in Article 5(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation and in section 34(1) of the Data Protection Act 2018. This exception is not subject to the ‘public interest test’, so we are not required to consider if the public interest in disclosing the information outweighs the public interest in applying the exception. This exception has been applied to Annex A.
