    Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 05-Mar-2024

    Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s handling of a planning enforcement matter. This is because the Council has explained the issue is for the relevant district or borough council and I have seen no evidence of fault affecting its view on this point. It is therefore unlikely we could achieve any worthwhile outcome for Mr X by investigating further.
