We investigated a complaint by Mr and Mrs S regarding whether the Council had failed to follow the appropriate procedures or had failed to give regard to the relevant planning considerations when considering the effect of their neighbours’ development on their property.
The Ombudsman found that the Council gave due regard to relevant policies and procedures when considering the planning application of the neighbours of Mr and Mrs S. As such, the Ombudsman was satisfied that no administrative failings were made during the planning process. The complaint was not upheld.
