  • Leeds City Council (23 015 365)

    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 12-Feb-2024

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about how the Council dealt with his objections to his neighbour’s development, how it applied its own planning guidance, and its consideration of the development’s planning impacts on his property. There is not enough evidence of fault in the Council’s decision-making process which would have affected the planning outcome to warrant an investigation.

    Statement Not upheld Planning applications 12-Feb-2024

    Summary: Mrs B complained that the Council when determining a planning application, failed to properly consider the impact on her amenity and published comments from the applicant which she considered to be defamatory. We have not found fault with the Council’s actions.

  • Wychavon District Council (23 012 083)

    Statement Upheld Planning applications 12-Feb-2024

    Summary: Ms C complained the Council approved a planning application without sufficiently protecting her neighbouring amenity and did not take enough action to address the developers breaches of planning control. We found some fault in how the Council considered the planning application. However, we cannot say whether the outcome would have been different, and it has since arranged for mitigations. There was no fault in the enforcement process, it therefore reached decisions it was entitled to make.
