<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear All,<br><br></div><div>Romsey members would like us to thank all of you who responded to their urgent plea for help. Jean Glasberg has been helping them to object. She has written to give us an up-date.As a result of objections, the period of consulation has now been extended. Do encourage people to write in. Those letters can make a difference. <br><br></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Have
just been going through the Romsey Terrace file and thought I ought to update
both of you as your email to FeCRA members has had a very good response - it
clearly taps into something which is relevant to people across the city. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">There
are now over 40 objections on the planning site - rather confusingly some are
under ‘comments’ and some under ‘documents’ and Roy has also had messages of support rather than letters - it is very
heartening, and definitely something it would be good to develop as a way in
which RAs can help each other. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">There have been several very good letters in the Cambridge News and Jon Vale wants to take a photo and do an article.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><font color="#000000">Jean adds: <br></font></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><font color="#000000"></font><br></span></p>

is obvious that having buildings so close together on such a constrained site
gives rise to problems with light and overshadowing, especially given the
direction of the sun - it’s a point made by many objectors which has been
picked up by the Urban Design Team who have asked for more information on this
from the developers, so the consultation period has now been extended until
23rd February. </span></span><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Perhaps
you could update FeCRA members, thanking them for responding so quickly and
letting them know that it’s not too late for RAs to let their members know and
to write in?</span></span></p>
