Decision details

The purpose of this report is to consider the results of the consultation on the Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document Issues and Options 2 - Site Options and Policies, and its supporting documents. The expectation by this time was that the Government would have published the draft Localism Bill, and provided the promised new guidance regarding planning for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation. This has not been the case. Therefore the report is focused on identifying which sites are no longer site options as a result of issues raised in the consultation, and to outline the next steps in the plan making process.

The Planning Sub-Committee noted the report.
