Submitting a Letter of Support
ELC supporters: We would be extremely grateful if you could find the time to write a letter of support. Even if you have time for nothing more than 'I support this application' it is still worth writing. If you have time to write more, some points you may wish to make (as appropriate):
- Why you believe that the project will be of benefit to the local community - environmentally, socially and/ or economically.
- Why the proposal could have a positive benefit for the future of agriculture and land use.
- Why there is a need for an affordable route into ecological agriculture.
- How the proposal addresses climate change.
- How the mechanisms we have developed, such as the Management Plan, will protect the site effectively.
- Why you believe that it fits with local, regional or national planning policy. For a summary of the relevant planning policy see the planning policy sections of either the Design & Access Statement and / or the Agricultural Appraisal.
You may also wish to say something about your experience and why you believe it qualifies you to comment on the proposal.
