There was fault by the Council. The planning report for a planning application for a petrol filling station failed to record consideration of the noise impact and hours of operation. On the balance of probabilities, this fault has not affected the outcome of the planning application but has caused distress and uncertainty to Mr X. An apology and symbolic payment remedies the injustice caused.
