Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 52607

Received: 28/06/2013

Respondent: Merle Mason

Representation Summary:

Very concerned Kites Nest Lane Site has been included despite being a green field site and subject of two failed planning applications and a dismissed appeal. It fails on every site criteria identified in the consultation document. Understand that other appropriate alternative sites submitted by the local parish council have been rejected on very flimsy grounds.

Please confirm the executive will be recommending Kites Nest Lane Site should not be considered a viable option and the list proposed by the Parish Council will be reconsidered.

I was very concerned to see that Kites Nest Lane Site has been included in the above consultation document despite it being a green field site and the subject of two failed applications for planning permission and a refused Secretary of State appeal. Reading the criterior included in the consultation document it fails on every point I understand from FROG that the travellers themselves who of course have a vested interest have put the site forward and that other appropriate alternative sites submitted by the local parish council have been rejected on very flimsy grounds.
In view of the above can you confirm that the executive will be recommending that the Kites Nest Lane Site should not be considered a viable option and that reconsideration should be given to the list proposed by the Local Parish Council.
