Should indicate how pitches will be delivered - Circular 1/2006 states that allocations should be made through allocations DPDs.
No objections to criteria 1, 2, 3, 5 however we believe that the others are too tightly drawn.
C4 enables objections where there are existing residential propereties. Para 63 of 1/2006 states lpas should consider first locations in or near existing settlements. C4 does not define 'other disturbances' if retained it should be defined.
C6 may enable local landscape and nature conservation designations being used to refuse permission for sites contrary to para53 of Circ.1/2006. This criterion thus requires revision or preferably deletion.
