Review Report

Representation ID: 27155

Received: 15/11/2017

Respondent: Mr Paul Luckock

Representation Summary:

The LDP should be more specific in respect of paragraphs 5.2.18 to 5.2.23.

New residential and transit provision for Gypsy/Travellers should be available as soon as possible.

If land is not allocated in the LDP the ongoing struggles of private or local authority developers to get sites approved and built will continue.

A seven pitch transit site may not accommodate demand because Gypsy/Travellers are a diverse group and Irish Travellers, Romany Gypsy and New Age Travellers maybe unwilling to share one transit site?

Our response:

Noted - all sites will be assessed during the 'call for sites' process and suitable, deliverable sites may be allocated to meet the GTANA identified need.
