London Borough of Bromley (24 011 206)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Building control 27-Nov-2024

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s requirement for the complainant to get consent from the statutory undertaker to connect their surface water run off to a sewer. Further investigation is not likely to lead to a different outcome. And we cannot achieve the outcome the complainant is seeking.

Royal Borough of Greenwich (24 011 800)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Building control 25-Nov-2024

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s failure to take enforcement action regarding several metal structures he believes are unsafe and may breach the Building Regulations. This is because the issue does not cause Mr X significant enough injustice to warrant investigation. As the structures have been in place for more than 10 years they are also likely immune from enforcement action under the Building Regulations.

Wyre Forest District Council (24 008 540)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Building control 14-Nov-2024

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about errors with a property registration. This is because the complaint does not meet the tests in our Assessment Code on how we decide which complaints to investigate. The complainant has already appealed to the First Teir Tribunal Property Chamber. Therefore we cannot investigate.
