That is a strong statement.Guess what, nobody cares.
Can you tell us why you feel that way or why you feel that other people might feel that way?
I certainly care and so do the people who are in similar situations to me.

Could it just be an admin thing? Planning was granted but the council have failed to update.
Have you had an actual conversation with anyone at the council?
You mentioned legal letters, sometimes these are deliberately not replied to in case it leads to being evidence in future ligation. Call the council planning and have a chat.
I’m surprised your MP would not be interested too. Write again, referring to previous correspondence and copy in the minister for housing and planning.
If/when a decision is made this could be a candidate for a judicial review.
I'll just put my oar in fwiw. Where I work (I work for a Council Planning Department) we would never initiate Enforcement action in cases where a planning application has been submitted and is undetermined. To do so would invite a charge of maladministration from the Ombudsman. We would just advise the developer that the work they've done is unlawful and that any unauthorised development is done at their own risk.
I would read the thread from the beginning if you haven't already done so, to get a clearer picture.
I don't want to get into the nitty gritty of this case. But the lawyers have already established that enforcement action should of been taken. However the council have ignored all of the evidence and letters so far, thus the apparent non-determination. There is definitely cause for a JR.
I am not talking about Policy, rather the Town and Country Planning Act.Well, it would depend upon the policy of the Council in question. I'll just clarify that the Council I work for would never initiate Enforcement action in cases where a planning application has been submitted and remains undetermined (it's different for Listed Buildings because criminal law then comes in to play).
I'm not convinced this is the situation here. My guess is that PP has been approved for an original scheme and the undetermined PP in question is for amendments to that scheme.I'll just put my oar in fwiw.

The truth always prevails!Perhaps they don't care either.
