The allocation of the site at Llangan for additional Gypsy and Traveller pitches is not justified and is inconsistent with the Council’s own policy framework and previous legal commitments relating to the land.

The site should therefore be removed from the Replacement Local Development Plan and alternative sites identified which better meet the criteria set out in the Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment and Policy MD18

There is an existing formal agreement in place that states the land will be returned to its original agricultural condition once vacated by the current occupiers. Why is this agreement not being honoured?

Access to the site is poor (from all directions) and does meet the requirements for emergency vehicles. There is no public footpath or street lighting. There is no public transport and no facilities within walking distance, so any expansion will lead to more traffic on the already limited lanes. A previous report found that the area was only suitable for two pitches.
