E-Petition - Save Wincobank Hill (Sheffield)

Although Sheffield City Council turned down the planning application for houses on Wincobank Hill, the applicant has now appealed to the Planning Inspectorate to overturn that decision. We have until the 24 September 2012 to submit more evidence justifying why the Council's decision should be upheld. The original petition you signed cannot be resubmitted to the Planning Inspectorate, we have to have a new one. So would you please sign this new petition to the Planning Inspectorate, link below? Many thanks for your help.
