Access to information
To increase openness and accountability in government and across the public sector, everyone has a legal right of access to information held by a Scottish public authority
Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004
Any request that you make for information about environmental matters will be dealt with under the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004.
Environmental information charging
East Lothian Council’s policy for charging in relation to Environmental Information Requests remains under review. Until such time as a refreshed policy is adopted, the Council will continue to assess environmental information requests on a case-by-case basis, with a general approach of waiving fees. The Council reserves the right to apply reasonable charges in specific cases where justified.
How do I make a request?
Requests for this type of information can be made verbally or in writing. Charges will apply, for more information see:
