Ryedale District Council (21 015 542)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 04-Mar-2022

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to grant planning permission or two developments in the area where he lives. This is because planning permission was granted in 2019 and Mr X did not complaint to us until early 2022. Therefore these are late complaints and there are not good reasons for us to investigate them now. We will also not investigate the way the Council has dealt with planning enforcement issues as it is unlikely we would find fault with the actions of the Council.

Mid Suffolk District Council (21 016 169)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 04-Mar-2022

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about how the Council dealt with the complainants’ planning applications or its decision to grant planning permission to the complainants’ neighbour. This is because parts of the complaint are late, and the complainants used their right to appeal to the Planning Inspector. It is unlikely we would find fault in relation to the remaining issues complained about.

Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council (21 010 284)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 03-Mar-2022

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to approve a planning application to demolish and replace a house. There is not enough evidence of fault in the Council’s decision-making process.

Herefordshire Council (21 013 260)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 03-Mar-2022

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint. This is because it is unlikely that further investigation will find fault in the way the Council considered the planning application for the new property. Nor should we investigate the complaint about breaches of data protection. I do not consider this has caused a significant personal injustice, and we cannot achieve the outcome the complainant is seeking.
