Full decision

Summary

Mr C raised a number of issues about how the council handled an instruction from their own planning committee in relation to a legally binding agreement to deliver the implementation of a controlled parking zone.

Mr C maintained that the relevant officers failed to follow the planning committee's instruction. He came to this view through his own understanding of the meaning of the instruction. Our investigation, however, found no evidence that the officers had not followed the committee's instruction. We also found that the council had responded to Mr C's representations and had explained why they had not agreed with his understanding of the instruction given by the planning committee.
