Allocations DPD Discussion and Consultation Document

Representation ID: 19080

Received: 28/04/2010

Respondent: Mrs Hayley Bloomfield

Representation Summary:

This site has been illegally used for a number of years, to legalise it now would just add to the opinion of many Travellers that they are above planning law and that eventually District Councils will give in. This site is adjacent to the A1245 with extremely dangerous access. There are better sites which would allow Traveller cohesion, these sites such as the Land adjacent to the A1245 and the A127 opposite Michelins Farm should be explored as it offers a more viable option. This is Greenbelt land and should be returned to its former use, a field.
