Wakefield City Council (25 016 835)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 03-Feb-2026

Summary: We cannot investigate this complaint about a decision on a planning application. Mr X has used his right of appeal, and the law does not allow us to investigate. Nor will we investigate delays in that decision, because that is a late complaint and there are no good reasons to consider it. And there is not enough evidence of fault the Council declined to refund Mr X his application fee.
