Get active. The CPRE have put together this excellent website, Planning Help, to help you understand the planning process, including eight simple steps to guide you through commenting on a planning application.

Take a look at our District News pages. We often publish details of comments and objections our members have made here. They are a useful template for your own letters and give an idea of what concerns you need to raise when contacting local authorities.

Take a look at your Local Plan. This sets out the guidelines your local authority has set for development in your area. Does the development you're concerned contradict the standards and priorities established in your Local Plan?
