Dear Member
The reasons for this communication is twofold:
Firstly, to provide you with the attached response to the issues and objections raised regarding the ‘Permission in Principle’ application to build four affordable homes.
Secondly, to ask you to complete the affordable homes strategy survey below. The Trustees need your input to ensure that we properly reflect the views of the membership. Please could we have your completed survey returned by 12 February.
If there are two members in your household with the same email address please reply twice.
Thank you
Sara

Your views matter not only to us. East Devon District Council say they would generally support proposals and ideas with strong community backing. The more response we get, the more power we have to do what we all feel is right for our Parish.
Responses will only be reviewed by BNCLT Trustees. The Trustees may share aggregated results with EDDC, BPC and BNCLT Membership. Those aggregated results may be refined to Village, hamlet, or postcode, but individual responses will not be shared.
