I live in small village in Buckinghamshire (England) called Litttle Marlow and most importantly I live in a very rural situation. You can find our village on Google earth and my house is just to the west of the cricket pitch. Now, we have become the subject of a planning application by the Wycombe District council (WDC) (to them selves !!) to site a running track , a car park, tall 15m high floodlights, all in the field just to the west of our house. This is a devious application because there is already a running track just 2 miles to the north of us and the local council are trying to sell the land off to build a Costco store. We also have the National Sports Centre one mile to the south of us in Bisham which is floodlit everynight brighter than Heathrow Airport.
Loads of back handed deals are going on to grease the passage of this application and the local planning department is the local byeword for corrupt practises.
I would be grateful for each of you to sumit an objection
- it matters not where you live - just please submit it and the details are below.
There is an outline of a letter as well - please use you own if you feel like it or adapt the one below to your own words.
I really would be so grateful.
Thank you

Planning application 12/06884/R9FUL
Dear Ms Bellinger
I wish to object to this application by WDC to move the Athletics track from Handy Cross to Little Marlow. The proposed development will be on greenbelt land and is unsuited to the open aspect which should be maintained in the Greenbelt. It is urban in character with car parking and floodlighting and will detract from the AONB land adjacent to it, causing light pollution as well as harming the views from Winter Hill in neighbouring Berkshire.
There is no public transport, no accessibility by foot, the area is isolated and will be little used during the winter months leading to a deterioration on the site. It is the wrong sporting facility in the wrong location for what is essentially a summer sport. The Athletics track is already perfectly sited at Handy Cross. This development will be on the extreme southern outer edge of Wycombe District when most users live in High Wycombe and north of the town.
Furthermore, if permitted this development will cause an urban sprawl linking Little Marlow to Marlow as well as leading to further development. It is vital to maintain the greenbelt in this crowded area of the country unless we want the whole of the South East to become a suburb of London.
Yours sincerely
