Further Gypsy and Traveller Sites Consultation
Wyre Forest District Council this week
launches a six week consultation on three further possible sites to
be allocated in the Local Development Framework (LDF) for Gypsies
and Travellers. The consultation opens on 7th February
and will last until 20th March.
A consultation on 7 sites took place during
October and November 2011. The representations received were
reported to Members of the LDF Panel, Overview and Scrutiny
Committee and Cabinet during January. At their meeting on
31st January Cabinet decided to allocate three of the
sites for gypsy and traveller use. These are
- Land adjacent to Nunn’s Corner, Stourport-on-Severn
- Saiwen, Stourport-on-Severn
- The Gables Yard, Stourport-on-Severn
Cabinet also decided that consultation should
take place on three further sites which were suggested in the
public’s response to the initial consultation. Therefore,
consultation is now being specifically undertaken on the following
sites:
- Land Opposite The Gatehouse, Sandy Lane,
Stourport-on-Severn
- 28/29 Sandy Lane, Stourport-on-Severn
- 1a Broach Road, Stourport-on-Severn
As this consultation is specifically related
to views on the three additional sites, the Council will not be
inviting further comment on the principle of allocating sites, the
process undertaken, or on any of the sites it previously consulted
on. The Council has no plans to hold public meetings as it did with
the earlier round of consultation.
The District Council has prepared a
'Public Consultation Pack' to accompany the
consultation. This document provides further information on
the proposed sites.You can find out more about this process and get
involved in a number of ways.
