Further Information

Guidance Notes

A separate Site Submission Form should be completed for each site.

All site submissions must include a map (ideally at a scale of 1:1250 or 1:2500) clearly identifying the boundaries of the suggested site(s).

There is no need to submit any sites that you previously submitted to the earlier “Call for Sites”, or where you have written to ask for a site to be considered through the Site Allocations DPD process; or are already included in the Site Allocations Preferred Options Document (March 2016), unless you wish to make any changes to previously submitted sites (for example site area, land ownership, new access), or wish to withdraw any site(s) from further consideration.

Disclaimer

Please note the purpose of this work is to assess the potential of each site to accommodate Travellers and/or Travelling Showpeople. It is a technical piece of evidence. Submitting a site for consideration does not guarantee that it will be found suitable or that it will be allocated as part of the emerging Development Plan Document.

All sites submitted will undergo a rigorous assessment against specific planning criteria to assess their potential suitability.

Any sites that are allocated within the Development Plan Document would still be required to follow the normal planning procedures in securing planning permission.

All sites submitted may be included in future public consultation exercises necessary for the production of Development Plan Documents and so cannot be kept confidential.

In completing this form you are giving permission for a representative from the South Worcestershire Councils to access the site with or without prior notice in order to ascertain its suitability.

Data Protection Notice

Personal information given on this form will only be used by the South Worcestershire Councils (and their agents) in connection with their statutory land use and transportation planning functions. It will not be used for any other purposes.
