Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of Mr X’s neighbour’s planning application from 2019 and the Council’s enforcement investigation in relation to the development in 2021. This is because the complaint is a late complaint and so falls outside our jurisdiction due to the passage of time.

Summary: We will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about the content of the Council’s planning decision notice because there is insufficient evidence of fault, and Miss X has not been caused a personal injustice.

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the decision to grant planning permission, the operation of the planning appeal process and the lack of planning enforcement action. The planning decisions and the appeal process are matters for the Planning Inspectorate and therefore outside our jurisdiction. There is not enough evidence of fault in the way the Council considered the reports of breaches of planning control. Finally, we cannot achieve the outcome the complainant is seeking.

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council granting planning permission to his neighbour in 2021. The complaint is late and there is no good reason to investigate it now. Even if we had investigated, it is unlikely we would have found Council fault and we also could not have achieved the outcome Mr X wants.

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about planning and a footpath order because they are matters for the Planning Inspector.

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to enforce planning conditions, the terms of a section 106 agreement and a failure to keep necessary documents. We have not seen enough evidence of fault in the Council’s actions to warrant our involvement. Also, the complainant was aware the Council did not hold the document he requested a few years ago. Therefore, this part of his complaint is made too late.
