- after having read the decision by the Local Government Ombudsman in 2015, I consider that the matter of which you complain remains that of the lack of enforcement by the Council [1].
- TheLocal Government Ombudsman gave you full and detailed reasons for reaching her decision [2].Whilst you remain of the view that the building does not comply with approved plans, I see no reasonwhy your argument could not have been made to this office within three months of the decision in 2015.
- That delay also makes any investigation of the matter more difficult given the length of time involved[3].
- I consider that your latest complaint remains that of your previous complaint [4]
1. my complaint is that the Council misinformed the first Inspector β nothing to do with enforcement;
2. which was βThe complainant says the shed is also 3 metres higher than it should be. The Council says it is not.β – if it had been built to the correct height then of couse there would be nothing to enforce!
3. irrelevant β it was apparent that the first Inspector been misinformed and I first wrote to the Council asking that they correct the misrepresentations. They said there were none but Mr Lewis does not deny that there were any misrepresentaions just that I was too late in pointing them out to him;
4. he has rolled together the second complaint, that is, the Council misinforming them withwith the complaint itself that the shed is 3m taller than planned.
On the 30th May 2017: Mr Lewis decided to make confidential, his misrepresentations about what went on: the cover-up by the Principal Planning Officer, Mr P Cunningham, at a meeting in the Town Hall in 2013 which was not minuted and where he failed to produce any approved drawings.
This utltimately led to the first inspector: Adele Reynolds, a.reynolds@coinweb.lgo.org.uk, being misinformed. The drawings approved in 2013, which Mr Cunningham was holding at the time of the meeting were made available to her and they show that the protesters were correct when they said that the structure was 3m taller and a meter wider than planned.
