Took me around a minute to complete after following the link and it counts as one objection. If you put your name on the petition, even if there are thousands of other signatures, it only counts as one objection when it is delivered to planning.

]]> Comment on From Spitalfields to the Isle of Sheppey by Claire Knowles http://spitalfieldslife.com/2010/05/07/from-spitalfields-to-the-isle-of-sheppey/#comment-48692 Claire Knowles Sun, 20 May 2012 17:21:52 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com.s83288.gridserver.com/?p=7577#comment-48692 This... I have just learned was owned by my grandad Mr Charles Love! Goodness I wish I had inherited it! It's beautiful. My mum used to talk about a castle like building on her dads farm (kingsborough farm) where she grew up and she and her best friend used to play together. As my mum was an only child I do so wonder what happened to the land as i understand he owned three farms in all. My mum moved me and my sister to Cornwall but I cherish my memories of grandad in those days. I believe he died in 1986 when I was about 8 and so I have never been back to sheppey since. How I wish we had inherited the farm and now mum mum has passed away also I wonder if anyone knows more about Charles Love. Shurland Hall looks amazing!
