Statement Not upheld Pollution 13-Mar-2023
Summary: Mr X complained about how the Council acted on his reports of smoke from his neighbour’s property. The Council was not at fault in how it investigated Mr X’s concerns about a new chimney.

Great Yarmouth Borough Council (22 001 826)
Statement Upheld Pollution 09-Jan-2023
Summary: Mr X complains the Council failed to take appropriate action about a light nuisance originating from floodlights opposite his property. Mr X says he first made the Council aware well before it finally issued an abatement notice. We have concluded our investigation having made a finding of fault by the Council. We found that the Council missed an opportunity to properly investigate matters earlier, and had it done so, it is likely it would have issued an abatement notice sooner and prevented further light intrusion into Mr X’s property. The Council has agreed to our recommendations.
