Complaint record keeping failures

Full decision

Summary

Mr C lives in a small hamlet in rural Aberdeenshire. His complaint concerned the inclusion of a site for housing in the Aberdeenshire Local Plan in 2006. The site had an indicative capacity of five houses and a subsequent application for planning consent made in 2008 (but approved in 2010) for eight houses. Mr C considered that the inclusion of the site in the Local Plan, the application for planning permission, and objections to that application had been dealt with inappropriately. Our investigation did not, however, uncover any significant flaws in these processes.
