I do enjoy these, will make my way through them all later.

Sorry, my confusion there. The council informed everyone of the matter in form of letter. The neighbour who objected, printed a copy of his objections (that he sent to the council) and hand delivered them to all of our neighbours asking for thoughts or comments to add weight to their objections.

A friend mentioned that they don't think they are allowed to encourage someone to make an objection. Their use of language would be a grey area in that context anyway. I haven't been able to find anything online to suggest they can or can't do it. We didn't no, they have been aggressive towards my partner in the past and also to our elderly neighbour (unrelated incidents), so didn't feel that we could have the conversation with them. I think we are ok in terms of their objects, potentially the only one being that they think it's out of character with the area, but i think thats subjective anyway. It will be taller, but should look similar to what it does now, plus we are on a road of houses and bungalows so there is a bit of a mishmash there anyway. Guess I was hoping to have an ace up my sleeve so to speak.

We have applied for planning permission to extend our bungalow turning it into a chalet style, whilst increasing the footprint on the ground floor. One of our neighbours has posted an objection with the council, which I have no problem with, I think that the issues they have we covered in our plans. However, they have posted letters to all of our other neighbours, with a copy of their objection and asking "Should you have any thoughts or comments to add weight to our objection, you can view the plans and comments online". Are they allowed to do this? Should I mention it to the planning officer/parish council etc... Thanks in advance
