London Borough of Waltham Forest (24 023 015)

Statement Upheld Enforcement 20-Feb-2026

Summary: Ms X complained about errors in the Council’s consideration of her neighbour's planning applications dating back to 2014. We found no fault in the Council’s decision-making when considering enforcement action. There was fault when it failed to decide one of Ms X’s neighbour’s applications, but this did not cause Ms X significant injustice. There was also fault when the Council delayed responding to Ms X’s stage two complaint. Its earlier apology is sufficient remedy for the frustration caused.
