MANY of my constituents have objected to a particular planning application and at their request I applied to the Planning Inspectorate at Bristol to hear the appeal in public.

The Inspectorate has taken a decision with the written appeal. If anyone feels strongly about an issue such as this, I would advise them to write directly to the Secretary of State for the Environment, Eland House, Bressenden Place, London SWl E 5DU, to demand a public enquiry.
