Subject: Planning application No. 09/01557/F

Good afternoon Mr. Lewis

I would like to register my opposition to planning application No. 09/01557/F with you. I believe two nearly identical applications have already been made to change the use of the Bishop Blaize from a public house to a private dwelling and both were rejected by your predecessors. Since there are no materiel changes in the new application and no changes in local planning policy have been published, I can only assume that the same result will accrue. I am aware there has been movement behind the scenes with unpublished documents apparently used to justify the new application yet not published on the CDC web site.

As I mentioned to you during our brief telephone call these documents were subsequently widely published by CDC officials claiming these to be in the public domain. I can fully understand your desire to avoid further inflammation by not publishing. Under the rather volatile circumstances now surrounding this determination and the great publicity it has already received, could I request it be made by full committee to give the oxygen of clarity for all concerned, pro or contra?

Your sincerely

Michael P. Drake
