2. WRITE a letter of objection to the Planning Inspector
AGHAST! has lodged its initial objection letter to North Yorkshire County Council. You can see this letter here
We encourage all individuals and groups concerned about the development to write directly to the Planning Inspector at:-
The Planning Inspectorate
Room 4/04
Temple Quay House
2 The Square
Temple Quay
Bristol
BS1 6PN
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU QUOTE THE PLANNING REFERENCE NUMBER APP/W9500/A/11/2155352/NWF
Comments may also be submitted online, click here, then "Search for Case" number 2155352.
Now that we are in a Public Inquiry, strict timescales apply for objections and comments, and any letters or online comments received after 26th August 2011 will not be counted.
So please write now!
Any objection you may already have sent (to the County Council or the National Park) will be forwarded automatically to the Inspector, and will help inform the decision. So, no need to duplicate the same remarks. Do, however write again if you have new comments or wish to add to what you have already said.
Please feel free to use elements from our objection letters if needed.
To stand a chance of being taken seriously by the Inspector, any objection letter must be rational, impersonal and directed principally to the planning issues raised by the proposal.
Set out your comments logically and in a straightforward manner. Personal comments or jibes about the Applicant are rarely helpful and imply the objection is personal rather than based upon the planning issues. Keep a copy of your letter.
Keep it brief. Long or rambling commentary is unhelpful. Why not use sub-headings to illustrate each point. If you wish to include other information then you can do so. Photographs are often helpful to illustrate to the Planning Inspector our particular concerns.
If you would like any help writing your letter, please feel free to contact us
