Landmatters requests your support for their renewal of planning permission

[Charlotte]

Dear Friends and Supporters of Landmatters,


We’re in for a new round of planning permission and are seeking letters of
support!  I would love to write a personal note to each of you but time and 
electricity supply don't allow, so please forgive the generic email and any 
cross-posting.


In August 2007 we received 3-year’s temporary planning permission for

our permaculture project and low-impact residential community. We then
received another 5 years, which expires in April 2016. At the beginning of
February we will be submitting an application to South Hams District
Council asking for permanent planning permission.


To help us achieve the best possible chance of securing renewed
permission, letters of support are invaluable to us. Descriptions of your
personal experience of Landmatters will be especially beneficial.


If you are able to write a letter of support, please address it to South
Hams District Council, as we don’t have the name of our case officer yet,
BUT send it to our Landmatters address (see above) or email
landmatters at gmail.com. Also, please make clear in your first sentence that
you are in support of Landmatters planning renewal.


Where they are relevant to you, please include such points as:


     *   What benefits you think Landmatters has for the local and wider
community


     *   What value we have to you (eg. education; access to the
countryside; sharing of skills and information about sustainable living;
produce)


     *   Our worth and credibility as an example of permaculture


     *    Why you think we should be allowed to continue.


Even if you only state your support without going into further details it
is still of benefit.


*Deadline: please send to us by the end of January if at all possible*


(Afterwards it is still possible to submit directly to South Hams Council.
Please contact us for the Reference number then as it is currently not
available.)


Many thanks, we greatly appreciate your support! 


With best wishes from Charlotte and all at Landmatters
