Wiltshire Council (24 012 477)

Statement Upheld Enforcement 09-Oct-2025

Summary: There was fault by the Council, because of delays in its complaint handling and in its decision to open a planning enforcement investigation. The Council has agreed to apologise for this. However, a delay in sending formal confirmation of the enforcement investigation did not represent an injustice to the complainant; and we have discontinued our investigation, about the way the Council dealt with alleged breaches of a construction management plan, because we cannot make a meaningful finding.
