Dear Mr King

I wrote to you on 25th June regarding an apparent anomaly in the size of the buffer zone. A
copy of my le?er is a?ached.

In my le?er I suggested that the Design Review Panel should review this anomaly, and that
Mr Page should be asked to explain how this could have happened. As there is no
correspondence from either party on the web portal I can only assume they are not aware
of the concerns raised in my le?er, which I very much doubt, or that they have chosen to
ignore them which is more likely.

There are numerous instances on the web portal expressing the importance of maintaining
a 15 metre buffer zone between the proposed development and the ancient woodland. It is
important, therefore, that MSDC takes whatever acTon is necessary to ensure this happens.
In case Messers Dorman and Page have trouble idenTfying the anomaly amidst the dark
green colours on the latest plan I am a?aching another, clearer plan of the buffer zone,
taken from the web portal, which clearly shows that it encroaches into part of the proposed
development.

Could you please ask the following:

To Mr Dorman - what acTon are you and the Design Review Panel going to take to ensure to
Mr Page recTfies the anomaly.

To Mr Page - please explain how an apparent slip of your pencil redrew the inner line of the
buffer zone.

Could you also ensure, for transparency, that any correspondence received from Messers
Dorman and Page relaTng to this ma?er is placed on the web portal.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
John Finney
