Objections in the form of petitions are acceptable provided that:
Pre-printed circular letters of objection or objection forms will be accepted as valid provided that they are individually signed and dated. The coordinator of such campaigns should make themselves known to the relevant Planning Officer.
Objection letters and petitions are available for the public to view online, therefore objectors should avoid making any statements in writing that they do not wish to be published.
It is up to you to decide whether you wish to organise a petition or not. In some cases, members of the Committee may give greater weight to the views expressed in individually prepared letters, as these are generally a better reflection of personal concerns. However, petitions can often be of value, for example particularly in a community that is not used to expressing its views in writing to the Council.
