Environmental information requests (EIRs) charging schedule

We are allowed to charge for making the information requested available; this does not apply to inspections of information.

We must publish a schedule of charges.

The EIRs don’t have an upper or lower cost limit so we can provide whatever it costs us to provide information following an environmental request.

If you wish to make an Environmental Information Request, then please contact us for further information.

How to access our publication scheme, including costs

You can access information on our website, or at an office that is accessible to you.
