Site is in the Green Belt. No special circumstance exist for this allocation.
Not within easy reach of local facilities such as doctors, schools, hospitals etc.
Limited bus service making access to employment difficult.
Site is therefore contrary to Council's own site selection criteria and emerging central government policy on such sites in the Green Belt.

Three existing traveller sites within a few miles of this site. Therefore the proposed site does not meet Council's requirement of an even distribution across the District.

Alternative sites to south of the district are preferable options as they are outside the Green Belt, have better access to facilities, would not have an adverse impact on a rural business and would not lead to an over-concentration of sites in one area.
