Architect fined £2,000 for poor advice
A London architect has been fined £2,000 by the Architects Registration Board (ARB) for giving poor planning advice and causing undue delay on an extension project. Toyin Adetola Oduse, an architect with SE2 Creative Ltd, was ruled to have failed to warn a client when they needed planning permission, which led to a series of delays during the project, most notably from December 2017 to October 2019. The ARB’s professional conduct committee (PCC) issued Mr Oduse with a £2,000 penalty order for unacceptable professional conduct. Following the PCC’s decision, Mr Oduse accepted he had fallen short of his professional obligations, apologised and said he had learned lessons from the hearing.
