Statement Not upheld Enforcement 12-Apr-2023
Summary: Mr X complained about the way the Council handled planning and enforcement matters in 2013 when converting a listed building into flats, one of which he now owns. Mr X said a neighbour’s decking encroaches into his garden and the external storage space he owns has utility meters in it. Mr X said this caused stress, and tension with his neighbour.
