Investigation reports

A man claimed Belfast City Council should have asked his neighbour to remove a structure on his driveway.

Although the Council was not required to take action, we found it should have explained to the man why.

We found that a consultation response to a planning application should have been made available on the Planning Portal website.  While this was a record keeping error by the Belfast Planning Service, we found no grounds to question its decision to approve the application.

We found that failings by Ards and North Down Borough Council resulted in delays to a golf club’s planning application.

We investigated a complaint about the way Belfast City Council dealt with claims of a breach of planning control.
