Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 23-Oct-2024

Westmorland and Furness Council (24 009 373)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 23-Oct-2024
Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint about the Council deciding to apply a Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) to her property, not changing its decision, and how it handled her complaint. Mrs X had a right of appeal to challenge the CIL liability decision to the Planning Inspectorate which it was reasonable for her to have used. In any event, there would not be enough evidence of Council fault leading to the CIL liability to warrant an investigation. We do not investigate council complaint-handling where we are not investigating the core issues giving rise to the complaint.
