For the reasons set out above the allocation of the site at Llangan for additional Gypsy and Traveller pitches is not justified, it does not meet the legal ruling of 1997 and is indeed inconsistent with the Council's (VOG) own policies regarding land use and in particular facilities that must be available to support such sites and those living there The site should be removed from the Replacement Local Development Plan and an alternative identified that better meets VOG's policy criteria.

Planning permission to use the site to provide Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation was legally rejected in 1997. This ruling remains in force. In 2017 a further agreement to restore the site upon departure of the original family living there was made. The site fails to meet VOG's criteria for Accommodation Assessment. The lane by the site regularly floods, is narrow and in poor condition. Access to the village is constrained by narrow lanes; they flood; there is no streetlighting or footpaths; there is no bus service. There are no facilities or employment opportunities within the village environs.
