London Borough of Redbridge (21 011 602)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 04-Jan-2022

Wiltshire Council (21 004 003)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 22-Dec-2021

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payment the Council seeks from Ms X. This is because we would reasonably expect her to have used her right of appeal to the Valuation Office.

Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (21 010 119)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 15-Dec-2021

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about Council delay and other failings in the handling of his planning application. Mr X complains late and as a developer he had or has rights of appeal to the planning inspector which it was reasonable for him to use. There is no reason to investigate the complaint handling where we are not investigating the underlying issues.

Horsham District Council (21 010 622)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 14-Dec-2021

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the way the Council has promoted its land as a development site for inclusion in the draft Local Plan. This is because the complaint does not meet the tests in our Assessment Code on how we decide which complaints to investigate. The personal injustice arising from the alleged fault is not significant enough to justify our continued involvement, and there is another body better placed to consider concerns about the content of the Local Plan.

North York Moors National Park Authority (21 011 618)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 13-Dec-2021

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Authority’s decision to suspend its pre-planning application advisory service. We have seen no evidence of fault in the Authority’s actions. Nor do we consider the complainant has suffered any significant personal injustice.

London Borough of Barnet (21 010 746)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 08-Dec-2021

Summary: Ms X complains about the Council’s handling of her planning application. We will not investigate the complaint because an investigation is unlikely to add to that already carried out by the Council or lead to a different outcome.

Mendip District Council (21 010 545)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 06-Dec-2021

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about misleading information provided at a planning committee meeting. This is because there is insufficient evidence of fault by the Council.

Mid Sussex District Council (21 010 269)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 03-Dec-2021

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s alleged failure to consult properly on closure of a public building. This is because some events described have been subject to court action and an investigation would not result in a different outcome. The remaining part of the complaint is about an ongoing consultation so we will not intervene by investigating.

Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council (21 010 854)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 30-Nov-2021

Summary: Mr X complains about the Council’s consideration of a planning application which may affect the value of his property. We will not investigate this complaint because the planning application has not yet been determined so any injustice is speculative.
