Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 54304

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Mr & Mrs P Harris

Representation Summary:

GT20 should not be considered as a potential traveller site as it is in use as prime wheat growing agricultural land within the Green Belt. Converting it to a traveller site would significantly reduce wheat or arable production in this area and also create a huge incursion into the Green Belt on its southern flank.

A proposed site of this size would also result in a hazard for traffic on the B4463 and the adjacent roundabout on the A46.

There are also no social facilities such as GP surgery, school and public transport within easy reach of this area.
