We will not investigate this complaint about the Council’s failure to identify restrictions affecting Ms X’s property when dealing with her application for ‘prior approval’. This is because Ms X claims pure economic loss as a result of the failure and it would be reasonable for her to make a claim for damages against the Council at court.
