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

    There was limited fault in the Council’s handling of a planning enforcement matter, its demolition of an unpermitted building, and its storage of the waste materials after the operation. There is no outstanding injustice to the complaint from these faults, but the Council has agreed to issue guidance to its staff to help prevent them from recurring.

    Service improvements

    The Council has agreed to circulate guidance to all relevant staff, reminding them that the Council’s Direct Action Protocol says it will usually inform interested parties of the date and costs of an enforcement operation at least one month in advance. Where it is considered necessary to withhold this information, officers should record a clear justification for doing so at the time the decision is made.The Council has agreed to circulate guidance to all relevant staff, reminding them that, where a person says they wish to make a claim against the Council’s insurance, officers should disclose the necessary details to them promptly.
