Brighton & Hove City Council (24 005 109)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Land 18-Nov-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about an alledged failure by the Council to take action in respect of boundary changes to a piece of public land leased by the Council, or issues relating to breaches of planning law. This is because the matter about boundaries is a historical issue dating back to 1992 and therefore outside the scope of complaints we investigate. There is insufficient evidence of fault by the Council with respect to it not taking enforcement action at present for the reason there are active planning applications which concern the alledged planning breaches.

Reading Borough Council (24 009 329)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 18-Nov-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint the Council has been at fault in addressing the complainant’s son’s special education needs. This is because it was reasonable for Mr X to use his right of appeal to the First-tier Tribunal (Special Educational Needs and Disability). An appeal remains the best option for Mr X to achieve his desired outcome. An investigation by the Ombudsman could not give Mr X what he wants.

North Yorkshire Council (24 009 379)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 18-Nov-2024
Summary: We will not investigate Mrs X’s complaint that the Council’s actions have led to her son missing school. This is because the education provision in place is not separable from Mrs X’s tribunal appeal. Other matters have not caused a significant enough injustice to justify investigation.

Derbyshire County Council (24 009 427)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 18-Nov-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint that the Council delayed reviewing a child’s Education Health and Care Plan and personal budget. This is because the Council has now completed the reviews and offered a suitable remedy for the delay so investigation would not lead to a different outcome.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 18-Nov-2024
Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about whether the Council is acting in Mr C’s best interests in its role as appointee for benefits. An Ombudsman investigation would not achieve a worthwhile outcome, and not achieve the outcome the complainant wants; for a family member to be appointee. The Department for Work and Pensions and the Court of Protection are better placed to consider these concerns.
