Commenting on Planning Applications (letter of support)

To: Wiltshire Council Planning Department (developmentmanagement@wiltshire.gov.uk) Re: Planning Application PL/2024/01556 — 8 Market Place, Pewsey SN9 5AD

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing in support of the above planning application, submitted by Pewsey Community Land Trust for former Police Station, 8 Market Place, Pewsey, SN9 5AD.

[Personalise this paragraph — e.g. why the applicant/scheme matters to you: as a councillor representing the ward, as a resident nearby, as someone who knows the local housing need, as a community group who works with people who'd benefit, etc.]

I understand concerns have been raised about the height, mass, and character of the scheme in relation to the conservation area. Having reviewed the proposal, [personalise: e.g. "I believe the design has been carefully considered to reflect the surrounding area" / "the reduction in height following pre-application discussions addresses earlier concerns" / "the benefit of permanently affordable local housing outweighs the limited change in appearance"].

[Optional: add a sentence on the wider benefit — local housing need, community-led governance, permanence of affordability, etc.]

I would ask the council to give full weight to this support alongside the objections received when reaching a decision.

Yours faithfully,
