It is a weakness of the planning system that the posting of notices, writing
to affected parties or advertising in the papers is often omitted. AFAIK
your only recourse is to make a complaint to the Local Government Ombudsmun.
Alteratively go for a judicial revue but expect to pay at least £10K to do
so.

How often is it omitted?
