Medway Local Plan (Regulation 18, 2024)
Policy T10: Gypsy, Travellers & Travelling Showpeople
Representation ID: 2135
Received: 02/09/2024
Respondent: Mr David Smith
The Local Plan identifies need for 31 additional pitches in Medway for those who meet the planning definition between 2022-2041 but takes no account of the 12 families currently residing at the Bredhurst Park and Ride site and their status is uncertain and that a planning application to convert it into a Gypsy and Traveller site has been submitted. The Plan assumes that ‘need can be met through expansion of existing sites’ i.e., through Gypsy and Traveller’s self-provision (private sites0 and fails to identify any land suitable for local site provision or met the demand outlined in the GTAA.
