Publication Scheme, Data Protection and Freedom of Information

The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority is committed to conducting its affairs openly and has adopted the model publication scheme provided by the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Information held by the Authority will normally be available for public inspection except when it is necessary to respect the rights of other persons, or to protect the Authority’s legitimate interests.

Open and transparent access to information held by the Authority will enhance the Authority’s reputation for accountability, efficiency and effectiveness. In adhering to this approach, the Authority upholds high standards in protecting personal information.

The Authority maintains a Publication Scheme (as required by the Freedom of Information Act 2000) that lists the types of information available and where the information can be accessed. Where possible, information will be published online and free of charge.
