A letter of objection is a letter that is usually written to object to a proposition. Usually, letters of objection are most common in areas like municipal planning and local government. For example, if a fast food restaurant submitted an application to amend a zoning by-law so they could build a drive through, citizens would be able to write a letter of objection stating their feelings about the issue.

Sample letter of objection

Zoning Amendment #545353

I am writing to object to the above zoning amendment.

By allowing McDonalds to build a drive through window on their existing piece of property, the amount of noise that will be generated will be unbearable for area residents. Idling cars will sacrifice the air quality, and the surrounding area will be littered with McDonalds packaging.

Also, the proposed construction of this drive though window would take away business from local restaurants, who do not have the money to install dive through window in their restaurants.

Overall, I feel the amendment that would allow this to take place is not in the best interest of the citizens of Oakville, and I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Citizen
