- Tribunal found her neighbour accusations misleading and potentially damaging.
- The dispute followed a CCTV planning application in Norwich.

## Summary

The Architects Registration Board struck Karin Elliott off the register for at least two years, finding that her communications to neighbours amounted to unacceptable professional conduct. The tribunal said she made inflammatory, misleading and potentially damaging accusations with little regard for their accuracy, raising concerns about her honesty and professional integrity.

The dispute followed Elliott’s December 2023 application to install CCTV at her Norwich property. In a February 2024 letter seeking residents’ support, she accused neighbours of trespass, property damage, racial harassment and gender violence; she also alleged racism based on England football cheering and occasional Union Jack flags. Her partner acknowledged that no neighbour had said anything directly racist, and the tribunal criticised how casually she made serious allegations.
