Statement Closed after initial enquiries Rights of way 30-Mar-2025

Summary: We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s role as a consultee on a planning application for development including a new footway. This is because the complaint is late without good reason, and we could not decide the Council is directly responsible for the effects of the road layout on the complainant.
