Draft Policy Direction-11 sets out a policy approach with regard to the delivery of GTAA
accommodation and that the Local Plan will require the provision of pitches and plots on
large scale development sites (of over 500 homes) to meet the identified need as set out in
the latest GTAA accommodation assessment (or any subsequent update).
2.89 Draft Policy Direction 11 in relation to gyspies and travellers? We can accommodate their
requirement for all sites over 500 dwellings to include pitches. Apparently, the Officers
have been keen to emphasis this as a necessity in recent public events. It therefore does us
no harm to be compliant. The intention is that GTAA will be able to be better integrated
with the emerging localities and communities.
2.90 In doing so, this will enable the provision of Gypsy and Traveller accommodation at
sustainable locations with good access to a range of facilities.
2.91 Terra supports the approach set out in the PO and can confirm that it envisages that the
land forming SG14 will be able to accommodate a proportionate level of GTAA.
