The Bull: deadline for comments looms

Dear friends and supporters of The Bull Pub, Bellingdon

Many thanks to those of you who have already added your letters of support for the  reopening of our village pub and the provision of a permanent building for our village nursery – both important community assets.

The deadline for comments is rapidly approaching – we ask you to submit yours by Friday 22nd September to ensure that they are included. It is vital that you give your full address, or your submission may not be counted.

We cannot overemphasise the importance of community support for this important planning application so we urge you, please, to email: planning@chiltern.gov.uk, with reference “The Bull, Bellingdon‎ CH/2017/1361/FA”, or comment via the website.

CDC do take all comments seriously, as evidenced by the acknowledgement received on submitting a comment (underlining added by us for emphasis):

The Bull Public House & Land Adjoining, Chesham Road, Bellingdon, Buckinghamshire, HP5 2XU CH/2017/1361/FA

I acknowledge receipt of your recent letter or e-mail regarding the above application. I will ensure that your representations are taken into account when the application is being considered.

All comments received will form part of a public document which will be available for public inspection, therefore do not supply details you do not want published. All comments will be scanned onto the application file and be available for public viewing. We will use our best endeavours to ensure that signatures, telephone numbers and personal email addresses will not be published.

With your help we will see both The Bull Pub and the Village Nursery once more adding their value to our community.
