📁 Extension of time letter

The Response Time Limit Extension Letter (Environmental Information Regulations RFI) under UK law is a legal template that outlines the process for requesting an extension to the response time limit for a request for environmental information under the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) in the United Kingdom. The EIR is a legislation that grants individuals the right to access environmental information held by public authorities.

This template is typically used by individuals or organizations who have submitted a request for environmental information and require additional time to gather and provide a comprehensive response. The letter provides a clear structure and format to formally request an extension, ensuring compliance with the legal requirements specified in the EIR.

The template typically includes information such as the requester's contact details, details of the original request, reasons for requesting the extension, and proposed new deadline for response. It may also outline any necessary justifications for the extension, such as the complex nature of the requested information or the voluminous amount of records involved.

By using this legal template, individuals or organizations can ensure that they are following the correct procedure and adhering to the time limits set out in the EIR while requesting an extension for responding to requests for environmental information. It can help establish clear communication between the requester and the public authority responsible for providing the information, facilitating a smooth and transparent exchange of information under the environmental law framework.
