I object with particular respect to the provision of sites for Gypsies and Travellers sites. Whilst I accept that there are positive benefits for the provision of 'official' sites for these people, the method and process for arriving at any planning decisions is too vague, and could still entail fragmented use of small pockets of Green Belt land which are totally unsuitable to meet the needs of both the Gypsies/travellers and the affected local community.
