Just a short note to say we won our planning appeal. Thank you to everyone who helped, whether it was working on the application, raising funds, giving us support, writing letters, or holding our hands and telling us to keep trying. You have all been absolutely wonderful and we couldn’t have done it without you. Many, many thanks.
