    Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s decision to approve an application for a Certificate of Lawfulness of Proposed Use or Development for a house next to the complainant’s home.

  • London Borough of Tower Hamlets (23 016 344)

    Statement Upheld Homelessness 05-Feb-2025

    Summary: The Council was at fault for failing to review whether Miss X’s temporary accommodation remained suitable considering the disrepair she reported.

To remedy the injustice to Miss X, the Council has agreed to apologise, decide if the property is suitable, and make a payment to Miss X.
