Summary: We will not investigate this complaint that the Council failed to properly consider wildlife and tree issues when determining a planning application for a residential development. This is because the complaint does not meet the tests in our Assessment Code on how we decide which complaints to investigate. There is not enough evidence of fault in the way the Council determined the application, the injustice to the complainant is not significant enough, and there is another body better placed to consider his concerns.

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about how the Council dealt with and determined his planning applications. It was reasonable for Mr X to have used his Planning Inspectorate appeal against the Council’s refusal of his 2019 application so there are no grounds to investigate it now. Mr X used his Inspectorate appeal after the Council refused his 2020 application, which takes that planning process outside our jurisdiction. Investigation of the pre-application advice would not lead to any different outcome.

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint regarding the Council failing to notify the complainant about a neighbour’s planning application. Although there was fault it has not led to any significant injustice.
