Mr X complained about the Council’s decision to retrospectively grant planning permission for a heat pump and condenser unit at the boundary with his property. He said this resulted in danger to his family and noise nuisance. There was no fault in the Council’s decision making. The Council accepted its online planning system alerted some people to its recommended decision prematurely. It offered Mr X a suitable remedy for his time and trouble in complaining.
