Somerset West and Taunton Council (21 010 626)
Statement Upheld Planning applications 29-Mar-2022
Summary: Mr and Mrs X complain the Council failed to properly consider a planning application for floodlighting to a tennis court and will suffer from excessive levels of light intrusion and glare. We have found fault by the Council in its decision making process but consider the agreed action of an apology, £250 and an assessment of the impact of the floodlighting with any necessary mitigation is enough to provide a suitable remedy.

Darlington Borough Council (21 018 248)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 29-Mar-2022
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council dealt with planning applications for a development near Mr X’s property. This is because the last planning decision was made by the Council in 2019 so this is a late complaint and there are no good reasons to investigate it now. We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about a recent ecology survey because the Council was not involved in this being carried out.

Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council (21 012 225)
Statement Upheld Planning applications 28-Mar-2022
Summary: Ms X complained about the Council’s decision to approve a large storage facility on land near her home. Ms X said the new building is large and affects her amenity. We found fault because the wording of a planning policy document is unclear and ambiguous. In addition to an apology to Ms X for any confusion that may have been caused, we have recommended that the Council should review the document and correct it as necessary. It should also review its document checking processes to avoid similar faults in future.
