1.1 We are asking for your comments on the Core Strategy Options put forward within this document. Are the preferred options put forward for the identified issues the right options?

Please make sure we receive your comments by Friday 17 July 2009.

1.2 The council has set up an on-line consultation system which is hosted by 'Limehouse Software'. The software allows you to submit comments electronically and we are encouraging everyone to respond to this document by registering for this service. The benefits of making comments on-line are:

• An email notification system that lets you know when new planning policy documents are available for you to comment on;
• You can update your personal details, such as change of address and email address;
• The ability to view documents and to comment on specific sections of the document;
• The ability to read what other consultees have said about issues that concern you;
• The reduced environmental impact of electronically submitted comments.

1.3 If you have already given us your email address you will not need to register and would have already received an email from 'Limehouse Software' (our on-line provider) with your user name and password. If not please register for this new on-line service by going to the Hammersmith and Fulham consultation website: http://lbhf-consult.limehouse.co.uk/portal

1.4 Click on “register” which will take you to a short form. You will be asked to enter your name, email address and postal details, and to choose a username and password. You will need to use the username and password each time you make electronic representations.

1.5 Alternatively, you can use the contact methods below:

• By email to: ldf@lbhf.gov.uk
• By fax to: 020 8753 3036
