Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Objection to Planning Application [Application Number] on Croft Land in Claigan
I am writing to formally object to the above planning application. My objections are based on the following grounds:
- Flood Risk: Claigan, Isle of Skye, is known for its susceptibility to flooding due to its geographical features and climate. The proposed development site is particularly vulnerable during heavy rains and tidal surges, which can lead to severe flooding. This poses a significant threat to both the new dwelling and surrounding properties, potentially causing extensive damage and safety concerns.
- Loss of Privacy: The proposed siting of the dwelling will result in a loss of privacy for existing properties. Specifically, the new building will directly overlook my property, significantly infringing on our privacy. This will affect our quality of life and the enjoyment of our home.
I urge the planning committee to consider these serious concerns and reject the application.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]

The proposed development site is especially vulnerable during heavy rains and tidal surges, which can lead to severe flooding.
