North Yorkshire Council (25 023 390)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 09-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the time the Council took to validate and decide Mr X’s planning application, and the way it acted in deciding to reuse the application. These matters carry a right of appeal to the Planning Inspector it would be reasonable to use. Investigating the Council’s handling of Mr X’s complaint alone would not lead to any worthwhile outcome.

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 03-Jun-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to require a developer to enter a section 278 agreement to enable it to remove two highway trees.
