Regulation 15 Provision of information

Subject to paragraph (2), the consultative bodies (and any other person notified in accordance with regulation 11(2)(a)(ii)) shall, if requested by the applicant (or prospective applicant), or may without such a request, enter into consultation with the applicant to determine whether they have in their possession any information which they or the applicant consider relevant to the preparation of an environmental statement and, if they have any such information, they shall make it available to the applicant.

Nothing in these Regulations shall require the disclosure of any information which is subject to an obligation of confidentiality under the law of England and Wales (including any information which is capable of being treated as confidential or must be so treated under regulation 4 of the Environmental Information Regulations 1992^f1).
