Disproportionate burden assessment for the public register

Scope

This is a public register of processes permitted by the Council under EPA 1990. The Council has a duty to display this information.

Benefits of creating an accessible version

The benefits of creating an HTML version of this PDF would be:
  • A fully accessible version for all users to access
  • An easily searchable and indexable version

Burden placed on the organisation

We’ve estimated that it would take a disproportionate amount of a content designer’s time to create an HTML version of this PDF. The document it is a statutory requirement by DEFRA and is required to be publicly available.

Contributing factors

Other factors relevant to this decision are:
  • The document is a unique piece of work that has to be displayed as one document.
  • The document it is a statutory requirement by DEFRA and is required to be publicly available.
  • We have never received a request for an accessible version of the document and will continue to assist with accessible versions on request.

Assessment

After taking into consideration the importance of having up-to-date information on the website and the complexity of this document which would make converting it into HTML a long and difficult process, we have decided to publish this document as a PDF. This represents a disproportionate burden on the organisation. This document needs to be replaced annually.
