Dear Tasman District Council,

The proposed Tahimana 141 dwelling subdivision has been formally been objected to in writing by numerous residents who are aware of this resource consent application.

To date there has been no substantial response. There is clearly a high level of interest and opposition by local residents and recreational users of the area to this proposal who are aware of this proposal.

Please provide the TDC communications between those who have contacted you regarding this proposed subdivision stating if they are for, against and neutral and whether local community or not. Please define whether these communications are from the subdivider or their sub-contractors:

1. email communications
2. document communications
3. meeting notes
