Cheshire East Council (25 002 253)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 15-Jul-2025

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about the Council’s failure to tell him about his neighbour’s planning application. He has known about this for more than two years therefore this part of his complaint is made too late. Mr X also complains the Council granted retrospective planning permission without consulting him. We have seen insufficient evidence of fault to justify an investigation on this point. Finally, Mr X complains the neighbour has damaged his home, encroached onto his property and failed to follow the requirements of the Party Wall Act. These are civil matters and an investigation will not lead to a different outcome.

South Gloucestershire Council (24 014 820)

Statement Not upheld Planning applications 10-Jul-2025

Summary: We have ended our investigation into Mr X’s complaint. The majority of issues complained of centre around planning matters including alleged planning breaches and enforcement issues relating to a property in the area near to his home. Some of the issues Mr X complained about are out of time for us to investigate. Also, there is either no injustice caused to Mr X himself by the substantive issues or the injustice is not significant enough to justify our involvement. We will not investigate the Council’s complaint handling as we are not investigating the substantive issues.
