Study to Identify Potential Gypsy and Traveller, Travelling Show Persons’ and Transit Sites – Final Report April 2016 Prepared by WYG Planning This study forms part of the evidence base for the Local Plan (Part Two) but please note the Council has taken no decisions on the allocation of sites for travellers. Further work and consultation is required before the Council allocates sites. This additional work will include engagement with landowners and it should not be assumed that sites identified in the study have been put forward by landowners for traveller sites or will be made available for that use by the relevant landowner.
