Site should be considered as integral part of the possible new expansion of settlements in the local plan. Will offer opportunity to tackle design issues and integrate traveller sites in a planned and coordinated way.
Current plans have no real strategy other than placing sites somewhere rural.
WDC should be bold and demand developers deliver new traveller sites.
May I add one last comment. Why are traveller sites not being considered as an integral part of the possible new expansion settlements in the local plan. The new expansion settlements offer the opportunity to tackle design issues, to integrate traveller sites into a new master plan in a planned and coordinated way. The sites presented in the consultation suggest that WDC just want to bung the sites somewhere rural with no real strategy. Please embrace the design opportunities presented by the new settlements...if indeed they come forward at the scale currently proposed.
