The Chief Planning Officer at Brentwood Borough Council wrote to local residents on 30 January (letter received yesterday) asking for views to be passed to the Planning Inspectorate by 7 March.
I have copied these letters because this blog aims to cover all things history to the local area. I do not engage in Party Politics. Please note that any comments you choose to make to this blog do not form part of the official Appeal process. (My personal response is given in a later posting).
