Representation Summary:

The list of sites proposed by Beausale, Haseley, Honiley and Wroxall Parish Council were rejected on flimsy grounds and should 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.
