Representations are not made to the appropriate officer until
full enquiry has been made and a visit paid to the applicant. Due
consideration is given to the factors involved, and whilst we
appreciate the lengthiness of the waiting list, such cases are not put
forward until we are satisfied that urgent action is desirable.
Notices Served.
