Please post a copy of your letter to this email address so that we have an idea of how many letters have gone in: noziphere@outlook.com
The planning office says the petition is significant but more significant is your personal letter of objection.
Advice received from the planning board is that to ensure you write about your personal experiences and feelings about Thirlmere now and what you might envisage if the plans go ahead.
For best effect do not write paragraph after paragraph of quoted strategies. I reckon they will get bored with your letter and move on. They know what the strategies are. If you need to refer to a particular strategy or objective quote the number only.
Please get in your letter of objection.
Send another one if you want to; you are quite within your rights to do so.
