Your own words count most. The developer gives far more weight to a letter that says what you know about the site than to a copied one. Use this as a starting point and replace every [bracket] with your own experience.

Stick to planning matters: things like the loss of your own view, house prices or who the developer is don't count, so leave them out. Everyone in your household can send their own comment.
