London Legacy Development Corporation Ltd (24 003 568)
Statement Not upheld Other 30-Jan-2025
Summary: X complained that the London Legacy Development Corporation (LDDC) failed to take planning enforcement action in relation to several breaches of planning control. X said that because of the failure to act, they are affected by unpleasant odour from refuse bins and a family member has limited access to disabled parking spaces. We have decided to end our investigation because from December 2024 the LDDC is no longer a planning authority, and its planning enforcement function has returned to a local council. The local council has begun investigating the alleged breaches of planning control.

Statement Upheld Refuse and recycling 30-Jan-2025
Summary: Mr X complained his bins are not properly returned, despite numerous complaints and Council promises. He said this has a disproportionate impact on him because he has disabilities and struggles to put his bins back himself. We find the Council at fault, and this caused injustice. The Council has agreed to apologise, make a payment to Mr X, and carry out further monitoring.

Slough Borough Council (23 002 200)
Statement Upheld Special educational needs 30-Jan-2025
Summary: Mr X complained the Council failed to reassess his child’s special educational needs, leading to a delay in issuing an amended final Education, Health and Care Plan. Mr X also said the Council failed to secure the existing education and therapy provision, failed to effectively communicate and keep proper records, and failed to properly manage his complaints. We have found the Council acted with fault, causing an injustice. We have considered the remedy the Council previously offered and made further recommendations. There are parts of Mr X’s complaint we cannot investigate. We explain why in our decision statement.

Essex County Council (24 014 091)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Special educational needs 30-Jan-2025
Summary: We cannot investigate Ms X’s complaint the Council failed to provide her child with alternative provision and special educational provision. This is because Ms X has already used an alternative legal remedy when she appealed to a tribunal and these matters are closely related to that appeal. Nor will we investigate her complaint the Council did not provide school transport for her child because there is not enough evidence of fault by the Council to warrant an investigation.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Transport 30-Jan-2025
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council initially refusing his blue badge renewal application, requiring medical evidence to support his appeal, or how it dealt with his application. There is not enough evidence of fault in the Council’s decision-making process to warrant us investigating and investigation would not achieve a different outcome.
