Follow up to meeting at St Peter's Church Hall, Cross Hills

Following on from the meeting last night, Andy Glen has sent me the following information - thanks Andy.

The meeting was a credit to the organisers and panel. And of course, all those who attended.

=========================================

As mentioned by various speakers at last night’s public meeting about the forthcoming planning inquiry people wishing to send in their views to the Planning Inspector should do so. Contact details can be found on

www.planning-inspectorate.gov.uk

and through entering the planning number:

APP/C2708/A/08/2082023/NWF

See the Campaign to Protect Rural England web site www.cpre.org.uk and in particular the information on planning.

The following extract from their guide to planning enquiries may be of some use in providing some written evidence:

· Establish your qualifications for giving evidence. It is particularly important to show why you have expertise

· Describe your involvement in local organisations and give details of any organisation that you are representing. This is another important way to demonstrate expertise

· Describe the site and surrounding area. Although others may do this, it is important to put your case in context, in your own way. Highlight what makes the proposed development unacceptable

· Describe the proposed development

· Point out elements of particular concern

· Draw attention to the elements of the development plan, national planning guidance and other official documents that strengthen your case. Only quote from them sparingly, but explain their relevance to the appeal

· Use any information about the history of the site that illustrates why the development would be inappropriate

· Outline why you want the inspector to turn down the appeal. You need to show the harm the proposal would cause.

· Use graphs, diagrams and statistics to simplify your case

· Summarise your case

· Supply any documents you have referred to in your evidence
