East Riding of Yorkshire Council criticised

28 April 2006

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has been criticised for refusing to pay compensation for offering inaccurate advice about removing an agricultural condition on a property. Local government ombudsman Anne Seex issued her first report on the case in 2005, recommending that the local authority pay compensation for lost value on the property assessed by the district valuer. The council refused, which led to Seex issuing a second report. East Riding has refused to accept the findings and insisted that the matter should be resolved in court.
