Aylesbury Vale District Council (19 006 301)
Statement Upheld Other 11-Mar-2020

Aylesbury Vale District Council (18 019 304)
Statement Upheld Planning applications 15-Jan-2020
Summary: Mr X complains about a large housing development next to his property. The Ombudsman found the planning decisions in this case were matters of professional judgement for the officers involved. There is no evidence the Council took anything other than proper considerations into account in weighing up the decisions in question and so no apparent fault. There was however fault in the Council’s significantly delayed response to Mr X’s complaint at Stage 2. The Council has already apologised for this and the Ombudsman decided no further remedy was necessary.

The complaint is outside the Ombudsman’s jurisdiction. Mr X has a right of appeal to the planning inspector against the recent refusal and had one for delay in the earlier period.
