Ken,

I think that unless there is a strong case under one of the exemptions form
the Access to Environmental Info Regs, all reports held by an Authority must
be made available.

Hello everyone,

I need to know if you allow members of the public access to your file
containing site investigation report.  I make reference to three scenarios:

1.  You obtain the document following your request to a developer to
undertake a site investigation report following receipt of a planning
application.

2.  That document was submitted voluntarily as part of plannining
application

3.  The document was from a site investigation you commissioned.

Bearing in mind that planning documents are public documents can you
differentiate between 1 and 2.

Thanks for your input.

Ken
