Received: 17/04/2014

Respondent: Mr Lee Fellows

Representation Summary:

The potential development of this site goes against previous representations by the landowner to develop the site to offer caravan storage. This request was declined for a range of reasons that would be present by changing the use to a gypsy site. More crucial for the economy of the local area, the site would have a detrimental impact on the attractiveness of the Hatton Locks. The area in question already supports a migrating population of canal boat users so increasing the population is not practical.
