Bromsgrove District Council (25 029 373)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 22-Sep-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council deciding not to issue a section 215 notice in relation to the condition of a property next to the complainant’s home. It is reasonable to expect the complainant to have contacted us sooner about events prior to 2025 and, in any case, there is insufficient evidence of fault in the way the Council considered the use of the powers available to it.
