Given its planning history, including this site is an error of judgement and it should be withdrawn.
Previous planning appeals confirmed development would cause unacceptable harm to Green Belt and would negatively impact visual amenity of area, contrary to both local and national policies. There are no special circumstances to warrant approval of this site.
July 2013 Ministerial Statement confirms traveller sites in Green Belt are unacceptable development.
Consultation document identifies other, non-green belt sites so no need to use green belt sites.
Should be considered as any other residential development in line with RDS strategy eg concentrated on edge of urban areas. Part of identified sites in RDS could be used for Gypsies and travellers.
Gypsy/traveller uses should be considered as part of regeneration plans for employment sites.
