Those wishing to urge on Waverley borough council when it considers the listed building application should write to Mrs Wright, Planning Department, The Burys, Godalming, Surrey GU7 1HR.

From the article:
'There is a poignant timeliness in the recent news of a planning application to break up Undershaw, Arthur Conan Doyle's former house in Hindhead, Surrey, into several smaller homes. It was entirely because of Doyle's first wife Louise, known as Touie, that the house came into being; and it was exactly 100 years ago this week, on July 4 1906, that she died there.'
