Fylde Borough Council (20 011 731)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Mar-2021
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s planning committee’s decision to grant planning permission for a development next to his home. There is not enough evidence of fault in the way officers recommended approval, or in the committee’s grant of the permission, to warrant our investigation. Even if it were fault by the Council in not notifying Mr X of the planning committee meeting, there is insufficient evidence that Mr X giving his objections at the meeting would have resulted in a different planning outcome. The size or standard of the new development’s accommodation is not a personal injustice to Mr X. We cannot achieve the key outcome Mr X seeks from his complaint.
