Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about differences in the Council’s handling of a planning enforcement matter at the complainant’s property in comparison to other sites in the area.

North Northamptonshire Council (25 021 781)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Enforcement 03-Aug-2026
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the way the Council dealt with planning applications for demolishing garage blocks near his home. Complaints about matters which occurred before December 2024 are made too late and we have seen no reason why Mr X could not have raised these points sooner. The Council has granted retrospective planning permission for breaches of planning control occurring after this time, therefore further investigation will not lead to a different outcome. It is reasonable to expect Mr X to complain to the Information Commissioner if he believes the Council is withholding information. Finally, there is not enough evidence of fault in the way the Council dealt with the planning applications in 2025 and 2026 to justify an investigation.
