DaveL mentioned that this note was sent to one household "who could not otherwise be contacted". My question was therefore not why this letter didn't go to more people, but that why do I know of other residents, who are directly affected by the application, but that haven't been contacted by the association by the 'other means'.

Of course the other details wouldn't be disclosed on this forum - but there seems to be no space for such details to appear. And the wording in the letter to me doesn't indicate a personal message.

Gingernuts, perhaps if you were as directly affected by all issues discussed here, as I am, you wouldn't think the posts as "silly."
