Find out more about service improvements

When we find fault, we can recommend improvements to systems and processes where they haven’t worked properly, so that others do not suffer from these same problems in future. Common examples are policy changes; procedural reviews; and staff training. Service improvements from decisions are published for 5 years and those from reports are published for 10 years.

    Summary

    X complained the Council failed to protect their amenity from the unlawful use of land near their home. X said the use caused significant disturbance, upset and stress. We found fault because there was delay in beginning enforcement action and informing other Council departments. The Council has agreed to pay X a financial sum and make improvements to its policy and practice that might help avoid the fault happening again.

    Service improvements

    The Council was at fault for delay in beginning planning enforcement action and referring nuisance issues to environmental health officers. To reduce the chances of the fault happening again the Council agreed to review its service provision, practices and policy. It will review the adequacy of its enforcement policy and consider setting clear expectations and guidance to inform the public and its officers on how it will prioritise individual cases.
