This is an outline application — what that means for your letter

Only the principle of building here, and the access junction, are being decided now. Layout, house design, materials, density and landscaping all come later, at a second application — so objecting to those now lets the Council set the point aside in a line. This builder keeps your letter to what actually counts at this stage. The formal consultation closed on Friday 2 October 2026, but the Council is still accepting comments until it decides — if you have not written yet, please do it now.

Every member of your household can submit their own letter
Each person's objection is counted separately — there is no limit per household and no minimum age in planning law. Older children and teenagers can submit their own letter; younger children should ask a parent or guardian to help. A household of four submitting individually means four entries on the planning file, not one.

How this works
Fill in your details below, select your grounds, and we'll generate a unique objection letter for you. You then submit it directly to North Somerset Council — takes about 5 minutes in total.
🌐 NSC Planning Portal →

✓ What helps

  • Things you've personally seen — flooding, wildlife, traffic, the footpath
  • Concerns about roads, ecology, drainage, or the impact on the village
  • Where the pavement runs out on High Street, and what you do when it does
  • Bats you have seen along the hedgerows or the rhyne at dusk, and where you saw them

✗ What doesn't count

  • Worrying about your property value — councils can't consider this
  • Losing your view — that's not a planning matter either
  • Disliking the developer
The tool generates a unique letter for each person — so even if your whole household objects, every letter will read differently.
⚠️ Important — Please Read
The objection grounds in this tool are based on Claverham Future's analysis of the planning application. They do not represent professional planning advice, there may be relevant considerations not reflected here, and you are entitled to reach your own view. Please read your letter carefully before submitting it — you can add to or amend it to reflect your own perspective.

Objection Grounds
These grounds come from Claverham Future's analysis of the applicant's own submitted documents, grouped by theme. The ones already ticked are those that go to the heart of the application — the objections that cannot be put right by a revised drawing or a planning condition. Please read the rest and tick anything that matters to you. A letter that says what you actually care about carries more weight with the Council than one that covers everything.
What the labels mean: Cannot be fixed if the Council agrees with this, it has to refuse — these are the ones we have ticked for you · Not yet answerable the Council does not yet have what it needs to decide this · Counts against real harm, or a claimed benefit that does not stand up.
