THE PLANS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED 

 Remember you can be any age, nationality and live anywhere in the world to object to the planning applications.  It now transpires you have extra time to object due to recent postal strikes, so if you didn’t find time to object before the original closing date of the 18th of October then do so now before midnight on Tuesday the 6th November.

Many thanks to those who have, in the hundreds now, but it could be an even louder and clearer message that could be sent to those who are backing the scheme!! 

 IMPORTANT READ AND ACT BEFORE Midnight on the 6th November. 

Use the letters below as a guide, but DO add your own comments, especially at the beginning. You must keep in the application numbers and official points.

The council are seemingly discrediting your objections if they are in the form of a pro forma letter. We are currently investigating the legality of this decision by their planning department. In the meantime use the two letters below as a guide, copy and paste them into your own document and add your own comments, especially at the beginning.  You must keep the application numbers and the content, but do flesh it out a bit.

Remember to add your name and address at top right corner, date it and put your name at bottom.

Use this as a guide if you did previously object in May/June 2007

Use this as a guide if you did not object in May/June 2007

Then send your objections to  

bruce.nicolson@edinburgh.gov.uk- Council Planning Department 

And copy them to

Shirley-Anne.Somerville.MSP@scottish.parliament.uk

The more objections received the more they will see that this is WRONG for the Capital’s Historic Core...and you will be proud to say you played your part.
