The requester appealed the Ministry's decision. Written representations were received from the Ministry and the appellant. None of the other affected persons responded to the Notice of Inquiry.

At the same time, for the purposes of expediency, I invited the final affected person to also make representations on the substantive issues raised in the appeal.
