Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 54257

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Andrew Jones

Representation Summary:

The site is not suitable because it will spoil what is an essentially rural site which at present looks in harmony with the surrounding countryside. Also, if the proposed development was 30 houses for sale or as part of the stock of council houses I would expect the planning office would reject it on the grounds that it encroaches on greenbelt land. The same criteria should be applied to this suggested development and thus be rejected.
Also, I do not believe that the nearby communities have the capacity in schools or doctors to accept increased numbers of residents nearby.
