hey will play an important role in shaping the future 9. We are currently at the Issues and Options Stage he plans. Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople Local Plan (Part 2b) What is the purpose of the plan? This Plan will set out detailed planning policy and guidance for Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople development up until 2029, identifying and allocating sites in the District to meet the needs of these groups.
What do we need to know? Key issues include:
18 residential pitches need to be found. Should existing sites be extended or should new sites be found to meet this need?
Should all 18 pitches be contained on one site or would several small sites work better?
Should developers be expected to provide a proportion of pitches on major development sites?
Should sites be owned by the Council or privately owned?
How many pitches should an Emergency Stopping place contain?
