Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 18422

Received: 26/04/2010

Respondent: Mr Leslie Sampson

Representation Summary:

As this site is currently occupied (I assume by gypsy travellers) then the number of pitches occupied should be taken as being part of the required 18 and either this site extended or used in conjunction with GT2 to fulfill the Council's requirement to provide sites or pitches for persons of a nomadic habit of life. The good access to major highways are a plus factor and the visibility of the sites would help to ensure that they continue to be maintained and used in a responsible manner.
