If a neighbour is seeking planning permission?
I have put in a complaint to the local council, but I feel this may be overlooked. Is there any other legal avenues I can pursue to make sure my complaint is given a fair hearing?
@Stephen - I have gone over this in quite some depth with the council. However I was really wanting to look for alternative avenues to go down, as I don't believe the council will necessarily give this issue a fair hearing.

Are you talking about a planning meeting saying that you "have no grounds for your complaint"?
What you do next depends on your Location and Country
Because rules regulations and procedure will vary greatly
I would hope you have talked to your neighbour first, before seeking lawyers and legal routes
I have seen these things spiral out of control only funding the Lawyers next holiday in the sun, when a short conversation with a neighbour could have solved or resolved everything
In the UK I would suggest the CAB (citizens advice bureau) they have trained volunteers who might be lawyers, once you have explained what you have done so far, they could suggest the next action and guess your possible outcome.

through the council planning is your best bet, now if you succeed is another thing. say the building will overshadow your home cutting out your light, or it is less than 1 metre from your property, then it is highly likely to be rejected. you really have to have a really good reason for this to happen. you may consider going to see the planning in person with your letter and explain fully why you are not in favour of the build.
