Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council (19 018 364)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 19-Mar-2020
Summary: The Ombudsman will not investigate Miss X’s complaint about how the Council dealt with planning applications for a business development. Miss X’s firm had appeal rights to the Planning Inspectorate which it could have used, for the Council’s non‑determination of that application, and its 2016 refusal decision. The firm used its Planning Inspectorate appeals against the Council’s 2018 refusal of a further permission, and against the Council’s formal planning enforcement notice. The Ombudsman has no jurisdiction to investigate those issues because the firm used its appeal rights.
