Statement Upheld Planning applications 13-Aug-2025
Summary: Mr B complained about the process followed by the Council when it gave planning permission for a house behind a listed terrace where he lives. We upheld the complaint, finding the Council’s planning committee did not follow its published procedure after it initially refused to support the planning application. We also found the Council at fault for delay in answering Mr B’s complaint. We considered these faults caused injustice, although we could not say the outcome of the planning application would have been different. The Council has accepted these findings and at the end of this statement, we set out the action it has agreed to remedy that injustice and to avoid a repeat.
