Dear Sir

Environmental Information Regulations 2004 – Extension of time – Request
no 1918

I am writing to advise you that the time limit for responding to your
request for information under the Environmental Information Regulations
2004, which we received on 20 March 2013, needs to be extended.

The Regulations allow us 20 working days to respond to your request from
the date of its receipt. However, it is occasionally necessary to extend
the 20 working day time limit for issuing a response. In this case, we
regret that we must extend the time limit for responding by a further 20
working days to 20 May because of the complexity of the request, although
we hope to reply sooner.

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. As you may
be aware, under the legislation should you have any concerns with the
service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of our decision, please contact
[1][email address]. Under Regulation 11(2) this needs to be done
no later than 40 working days after the date of this letter.

If you are not content with the outcome of that complaint, or the review
of our decision, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner
for a decision. Generally, the Commissioner cannot make a decision unless
you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by Natural England.
The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: The Information
Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
5AF. Telephone: 01625 545 700, [2]www.ico.gov.uk.
