The LAs are more concerned about utilities and shared public spaces in assessing whether to release the bond, as its purpose is to protect them from having to pay to complete those works. Even if they looked at the fence, they may have felt that was 'substantially in compliance', or just not of concern to them to go down the enforcement route.I thought this bond isn't to be released until all works are completed in accordance with the grant of planning?
Yes, they put a bond that isn't enough to cover building the wall. The council said its not even enough to cover what needs to be completed so they can take over. The council are going to spend the bond. I just wanted to see are the council liable cause they write conditions of planning and they weren't enforced. Pity we didn't notice that in the plans. We only found out a few weeks ago.Does the developer not have to lodge a bond with the Planning authority? I thought this bond isn't to be released until all works are completed in accordance with the grant of planning?

Probably just a choice of words thing, but the council are not liable here. If it were still inside the enforcement period, liability would fall with the current owners and the owner of any common areas bounded by the fences that were supposed to be walls.The council are going to spend the bond.
