Please find attached a copy of the letter obtained from the system,
showing what form the consultation letters took. The initial consultation

I hope the information provided here answers your enquiry. If however,
you are unhappy with the outcome, or the way in which Chorley Council has
handled your request, you may wish to make an appeal. This can be done in
writing to the Freedom of Information Officer, Chorley Council, Civic

I have seen the notification letter that the Council sent to the LGO (York).
And I believe it to have been manufactured to tick another box for the LGO.
It's contents don't tally with requirements.

Dear foi, I am not satisfied with the internal review decision,and
ask the following questions,
(1) Who was on the review panel ?
(2) Why wasn't I given the opportunity to put before the panel
evidence to contradict the panels decision ?.
(3) On what evidence did you base your decision ?.
(4) Why wasn't I allowed to challenge your statements made, before
you reached your decision ?.
You have denied my right to a fair and just hearing,and therefore
your decision is not a democratic one.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Dootson

I asked for a dated copy of the neighbour consultation letter that they said had been sent out.
Instead they produced a letter that was differant to the one submitted to the LGO.
The LGO letter contained discrepencies which didn't comply with Town & Country requirements.
The Internal review supported the production of a second letter with these discrepencies corrected, and alterations to the applicant details.
