Environmental Information Request
Reference: EIR 101007708909

Dear Applicant,

Please consider this as our formal response to your information request which
was logged under the above reference number and treated as a request made under
the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) 2004.

I have been unable to find detailed plans for the pedestrianisation of Mersey
Square between Wellington Bridge, the Merseyway Shopping Centre building, and
the Plaza building.

Could you please furnish me with high quality detailed diagrams, in PDF format,
of the works in that area. 

The information requested is exempt under regulation 6(1)(b) of
the Environmental Information Regulations (2004) which states that:

6.—(1) Where an applicant requests that the information be made available in

a particular form or format, a public authority shall make it so
available, unless—

(b)the information is already publicly available and easily accessible to
the applicant in another form or format.

The Mersey Square drawings of the changes associated with the interchange were
discharged as part of Planning Condition 7 via application DC/090876
are publicly available. The drawings can be found by searching
application reference DC/090876 at
https://planning.stockport.gov.uk/Planni... .

The design for the remaining part of Mersey Square is still being developed and
is therefore not available.

Documents held by Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council may fall under the
Re-Use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015. If you receive a Council
document and you wish to use it for a new purpose, please identify the document
in question and describe how you intend to re-use it. We will aim to respond to
any re-use request within 20 working days.
