I wish to register very strong OBJECTION to the inclusion of site GTalt03 in your consultation document 'Local Plan- Sites for Gypsies and Travellers' dated March 2014.

The site is within the Green Belt and in the last five years has been the subject of two planning REFUSALS by the WDC Planning Committee in 2009 and 2011. On each occasion our Parish Council and Ward Councillors, Alan Rhead (2009) and Clare Sawdon (2011) supported local residents in their OBJECTIONS by speaking for them at the Planning Committee meetings. The site has also been DISMISSED by the Planning Inspectorate at an appeal hearing in 2009 and following that in 2010 the WDC took out an Injunction to prevent any development.

The conditions that applied then are still valid and relevant today.

It is therefore inconceivable that it should be given any consideration by the very
authority that REFUSED those applications.

Furthermore, Hampton-on-the-Hill is not identified within either the adopted WDC
Local Plan (2006) or within the draft 'Village Housing Options' consultation as a sustainable location for any new residential development. As such it is also not suitable as a sustainable location for a Traveller site.

We therefore request that the site GT alt 03 be reclassified as a red site and removed from any consideration in this consultation.
