Why your own words matter

A planning officer will decide this, not a vote. The officer weighs reasons, not numbers.

Each personal objection is evidence that the village still needs a pub. Copied letters carry little weight, so a few sentences in your own words is enough.

What to mention

Pick one or two that are true for you:

• How you used the pub, and how often.
• Whether you go to the village pop-up pub. It opens one evening a month at most and draws around 80 people.
• Beachamwell has no other pub.
• Whether you’d support, volunteer at or invest in a community-owned pub.
• It has been marketed as a six-bedroom house, not to pub operators, and the application includes no marketing or viability evidence.

What to avoid

These can’t be taken into account and may weaken your objection.

• Comments about the owner or his family personally.
• House prices or views.
• Guesses about the building’s future.
• Anything rude.
