Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council (25 027 954)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 08-Sep-2026

Leicester City Council (25 027 979)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Building control 08-Sep-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of a building control matter. This is because the complaint is late, the courts are better placed to determine any dispute over the Council’s costs and it would be reasonable for the complainants to make a claim against the Council for their losses at court.

Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council (25 028 182)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 08-Sep-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X‘s complaint about planning enforcement and how the Council handled his complaint. This is because there is not enough evidence of fault in the way the Council reached its decision on the planning enforcement matter. Also, any injustice arising from the delay in responding to Mr X's complaint is not significant enough to justify our involvement.

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of a planning enforcement investigation into a property the complainant owns, and the subsequent complaint process. There is insufficient evidence of fault in how the Council decided to progress the case, and it would not be a good use of our resources to look at the complaints process in isolation.

Rutland County Council (25 029 664)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 07-Sep-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s handling of the complainant’s planning application, and the subsequent complaint process. The law does not allow us to investigate where the complainant has already used their right of appeal to the Planning Inspectorate. It would also not be a good use of our resources to look at the Council’s subsequent complaint handling in isolation.
