Justification for Preferred Option - Gypsies and Travellers
Representation ID: 46745
Received: 22/07/2012
Respondent: Derbyshire Gypsy Liaison Group
A clear time frame for the production of evidence (the GTAA) and the delivery of a site or sites needs to be set out. The original GTAA was published in 2008, and there seems to have been very little done practically in the 4 years since then other than produce a few reports which themselves also have little weight. It is agreed that the original GTAA was poor - it is unlikely that the council would be heading into an examination if the mainstream housing figures were unknown and this approach is contrary to national policy.

Several of the criteria in the policy go beyond national policy and will render the policy ineffective at delivering new sites since the policy is too restrictive.
