Gypsy and Traveller Site Options

Representation ID: 55529

Received: 29/07/2013

Respondent: Mr Mrs Mis K, S & K Withers

Representation Summary:

Object to this proposed site as there are already three traveller sites within a few miles of it. This would not satisfy the Local Plan Strategy of "distributing development across the District".

Smith's Nursery have spent a lot of money building up the business which is an asset to the village and wider community; it would be unfair to force them to give up their land for this development.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We write in objection to the proposed Gypsy & Traveller site at Stoneleigh Road (GT07).
There are already three traveller sites within a few miles of this proposed site. Therefore the proposal does not satisfy the Local Plan Strategy of "distributing development across the District".
We feel that it would be unfair to force Smith's nursery to give up their land for this development, especially as they have expanded and spent a lot of money in building up the business, which is an asset to the village and the wider community.
