Dear
Minister,

Following
an email from the Planning Inspectorate re the delay in the release of the

As
I am away next week following discussions with the key CPWF objectors I have
sent the attached letter to the Minister this evening (and received
acknowledgement of its receipt). 

I
am not sure if this will make any difference and expect to receive the standard
‘I can’t comment until I receive the Inspectors report’ reply from the
Minister.  However by sending […]

complexity’ of the inquiry.  This is direct result of the Minister using
her Planning Inspectorate and calling this a […]

“It is preposterous of […]
