Traveller Accommodation Requirements

Travellers have distinctive needs which will be assessed as part of the local HNA/HMA. Where the HNA/HMA identifies a demonstrable need for Travellers specific accommodation, planning permission will be granted for a suitable facility to meet this need. This may be provided through a grouped housing scheme, a serviced site or a transit site, subject to meeting the following criteria: adequate landscaping being provided; the development being compatible with existing and proposed buildings and structures in the area paying particular regard to environmental amenity; and where appropriate, the provision of workspace, play space and visitor parking being provided.
