Criteria-Based Approach to Traveller Accommodation
Development of traveller facilities must ensure compatibility with neighbouring uses, adequate landscaping, supporting services, access to key facilities, utilities provision, safe road access, and avoid noise and disturbance. These requirements apply to new provision and redevelopment or extension of existing facilities.
The criteria-based approach to the provision of traveller accommodation expands upon the SPPS requirements to ensure compatibility with neighbouring uses, adequate landscaping and the provision of supporting services (workspaces, play spaces and parking). However, the Belfast policy seeks to address a broader range of local issues including access to key facilities, provision of utilities, safe road access and avoiding the potential for noise and other disturbance. These requirements will be applicable when considering redevelopment or extension of existing traveller facilities as well as new provision.
