Coventry City Council (18 006 468)
Statement Upheld Planning applications 29-Mar-2019
Summary: Mr X complains the Council gave an inaccurate description of a development when it sent him a consultation, did not respond to his letters seeking clarification and did not properly assess the impact on his solar panels. The Ombudsman finds there was fault when the Council publicised the planning application with a factually wrong description.
