North Yorkshire Council (25 021 134)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 05-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s enforcement action against a breach of planning control at Ms X’s home. We have not seen enough evidence of fault in the Council’s actions to justify an investigation. Also we will not investigate Ms X’s complaint about the way the Council dealt with her retrospective planning application. The law prevents us from considering this part of her complaint as Ms X has already appealed to the Planning Inspectorate.

Liverpool City Council (25 021 628)

Statement Closed after initial enquiries Planning applications 05-May-2026

Summary: We will not investigate Mr X’s complaint about pre-application advice produced by the Council. Such advice is not binding on a planning decision, and we would be unlikely to find fault if we investigated. Mr X also had a right of appeal to the Planning Inspector against the Council’s refusal of planning permission it would have been reasonable to use.
