For requests involving environmental information, the Trust must respond within 40 days, under the Environmental Information Act 2004.
Sometimes the information you have requested contains the identifying details of people with whom the Trust has had contact. During the course of answering your request, therefore, we will decide whether you are required to provide the authority specified by law in order to gain access to the requested information. We will let you know as soon as possible whether you are required to supply specific authorization before information can be released to you. This usually only applies where the information requested contains information that could be used to identified individuals.It could help to shorten the time it takes to process your request if you supply any relevant authorisation at the time you make your request.
