Dear Mr Williams,
 
COMPLAINT
 
After all the controversy about the planning permissions granted to 2 West Street;  this week, work started on a ground floor extension to the property. This extension is room size. I have checked with all my neighbours and none of them is aware, nor am I, of any planning permission being granted for this extension.
 
We already have a number of instances of work being carried out on this property without planning permission and then retrospective planning permission being granted. I trust this scam is not being perpetrated again.

I would appreciate an early reply to this email and an imminent investigation into what is going on.
 
Thank you for your attention.
 
Yours sincerely,

Keith Edmund
