Statement Not upheld Other 16-Jul-2026
Summary: Ms C complained about the Council’s handling of a planning application and related enforcement action for a development near her home. She said she experienced an impact on her residential amenity and facilities were not available to local residents as required. We have not found fault in the processes the Council followed to reach its views on the enforcement concerns. Nor was it at fault for how it communicated with Ms C or the delays which occurred. In addition, some parts of Ms C’s complaint were late and therefore not investigated.

Buckinghamshire Council (25 025 485)
Statement Closed after initial enquiries Other 13-Jul-2026
Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about how the Council has dealt with the proposals for a shared cycle and footway near his home, its response to his requests for information and its complaint replies. There is not enough significant personal injustice caused to Mr X or his family by the matters complained of to warrant us investigating. The Information Commissioner’s Officer (ICO) would be the body better placed to consider the Council’s response to Mr X’s information requests. We do not investigate councils’ complaint handling where we are not investigating the core issues giving rise to the complaint.
