Complaint record keeping failures

Full decision

Summary

Mr C raised a number of issues in connection with the planning review body. In particular, he said that the council had failed to provide accurate, clear and objective information on two planning applications. He also said that the council had failed to provide the planning review body with accurate, clear and objective information on their role.

After taking independent advice from one of our planning advisers we did not uphold Mr C's complaints. We found no evidence of fault in the way in which the council informed the planning review body.
