Statement Upheld Building control 10-Aug-2025
Summary: Mr X complained the Council has not taken planning enforcement action to control a development near his home that does not have planning permission. He said the Council delayed its investigation until four years elapsed since the build, then said the work was immune from enforcement. Mr X said his home is overlooked because of the Council inaction and this impacted his mental health. There was fault because the Council lost control of unlawful development at this site, delayed considering Mr X’s concerns and its communication was poor. This frustrated and distressed Mr X. The Council has agreed to apologise, make a financial payment, complete a review of its enforcement service and share this decision with the relevant scrutiny committee.

Milton Keynes Council (24 015 821)
Statement Upheld Disabled children 10-Aug-2025
Summary: Mrs X complained that the Council delayed arranging education for her son after his school placement ended, and wrongly took recovery action against her when some of the money for her son’s care went missing. We cannot comment on Mrs X’s liability for the missing money, as this may well be dealt with in court. But we have found that the Council was otherwise at fault. It delayed arranging education for Mrs X’s son and caused delays in its recovery of the missing money. It has now agreed to take action to remedy the injustice caused to Mrs X and her son.
