Liverpool City Council (25 005 087)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 03-Mar-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the way the Council dealt with reports of breaches of planning control as we have not seen enough evidence of fault in the Council’s actions. The law states we cannot consider any matters relating to planning applications which have been appealed to the Planning Inspector. Further investigations into the Council’s response to Ms X’s complaint is unlikely to lead to a different outcome. Finally, we do not consider it a good use of public resources to investigate complaints about the complaints procedure alone if we are not considering the substantive issue.
