I'm now in the middle of writing my development statement and having seen an example of a successful submission I am wondering how 'hot' on the 4000 word limit are they? It quite clearly states (twice) in the 2002 regulations that the written statement: - should not exceed 4000 words; - There is a maximum permitted word length of 4000 words ... Yet the example I have seen had over 5000 words by my estimation. I am now confused, and a bit miffed as I know I'll have to do a editing job to make sure mine comes in under the limit (better than having to rewrite though!).
