Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about a planning enforcement matter. This is because we cannot achieve any worthwhile outcome for Mr X by doing so. The Council has sought legal advice on the possibility of taking formal action and there is not enough evidence of fault affecting its decision to warrant further investigation. Further, the injustice Mr X claims is not directly related to the Council’s decision not to take formal action.

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council granting planning permission for new houses next to his property in 2021 and how it dealt with his complaint.

We do not investigate councils’ complaint-handling where we are not investigating the core issue which gave rise to the complaint.

The matters complained of do not cause Ms X sufficient significant personal injustice to justify us investigating.

Summary: Mr X complained the Council acted beyond its authority, and contrary to its constitution, when it granted planning permission to develop land near his home using delegated powers. Mr X also complained the Council failed to remedy breaches of planning control at the site due to delays, lack of action, and undue leniency towards the developer. We did not investigate the Council’s decision to grant planning permission. There was no fault in the Council’s consideration of the planning enforcement issues.

Summary: Mr X says the Council should not have abandoned enforcement action in 2022 and failed to ensure its officers returned messages and responded to emails. There is no fault in the Council’s decision to abandon prosecution but it delayed reaching that decision and has still not decided whether to pursue the planning breach. There is no evidence of failure to respond to Mr X’s contacts since 2022. An apology for the delayed decision to abandon prosecution and an agreement to make a decision on the outstanding planning breach is satisfactory remedy.
