request for Large Raised Reservoirs dataset

FOI-Advice <FOI-Advice@environment-agency.gov.uk


Dear Environment Agency,

I would like to request a copy of the most recent available version of the Environment Agency's public register of Large Raised Reservoirs (AfA134).

I understand this register is maintained by the EA's FCRM Directorate, based in Exeter.

I also request, in accordance with regulation 6 of the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015, permission to re-use any information released in response to my request for the purpose of combining that information with data from existing open public datasets and making the outputs available to others in a re-usable electronic form under an open licence. I request the Environment Agency grants permission to re-use the information for this purpose under the terms of the Open Government Licence v3 (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/). Given my intended use, any more restrictive licensing terms would be likely to "unnecessarily restrict" the way in which the information can be re-used, contrary to RoPSIR regulation 12.

As you may be aware, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recently served a decision notice requiring the Environment Agency to permit another applicant to re-use its Large Raised Reservoirs dataset under the Open Government Licence:

Thank you.
