The site suggested for possible usage for the above is most unsuitable for the following reasons:-
1. The privately owned site is on the open market.
2. Situated on Warwick Road, the site comprises 1.35 acres and is a long narrow strip of land
that would accommodate only two visitors(possibly).
3. I believe the criteria for managing Traveller sites is to have a resident on the site. This would
make the site suitable for one resident and one visitor, so not cost effective.
4. The vendor is asking over £500,000. for this site and it has derelict chicken houses on it
involving extra costs for demolition, despite the fact that the vendor was ordered to demolish
these following appeal.
5. The site would contravene the Green Belt Policy.
6. Residents would rather see the site purchased for low cost housing thus fulfilling the Govt. objective for more housing in a sensible way, but of course the Planning Dept would have to compromise on permission.
I honestly believe this would be a great solution to a tricky piece of land.,
