Core Strategy Submission Document

Representation ID: 15962

Received: 28/10/2009

Respondent: Go-East

Representation Summary:

The Core Strategy correctly identifies the dwelling, jobs and additional Gypsy and Traveller pitch requirements as specified in the East of England Plan. However, East of England Plan Policy H3 also requires a 3% compound increase in provision after 2011. There is no Core Strategy commitment to providing post-2011 Gypsy and Traveller accommodation, merely a statement that additional pitches will be subject to review of further need. You should take a view on whether Core Strategy Policy H7 is in conformity with the East of England Plan.
