Full decision

Summary

Mr C complained about the council's handling of complaints about unauthorised works being carried out on a neighbouring site. In particular he was concerned about the potential damage to a tree on the site. He also complained about the council's handling of his complaint.

Our investigation found that the council had considered the complaint about alleged unathorised works in line with their Enforcement Charter and that they had responded to Mr C's complaint. We, therefore, did not uphold any of the complaints.
