Plans for new travellers’ site labelled 'absolutely bonkers'

The plans were rejected

Plans for a travellers’ caravan site with a large home were called “absolutely bonkers” in a planning meeting before they were refused. Newark and Sherwood District Council received an application for a residential caravan site with 19 pitches and the construction of one five-bedroom home.

The decision was met with a round of applause from dozens of residents who attended the meeting. One of those residents, who did not wish to be named, said the plans were “heartbreaking”. “I think if we were to refuse permission we would be almost certain to lose on appeal. We would also have reason to expect a cost award against us.

"This property is massive. I have protected the green open space since I was elected eight years ago, and this sets a dangerous precedent. Barnby in the Willows Parish Council objected to the plans and raised dozens of concerns about road safety, loss of privacy, privacy, and light pollution. Balderton Parish Council and Coddington Parish Council also objected.

“As a traveller myself, I understand the circumstances of the local people, I also understand the way Gypsy and Traveller sites are run. Our community want somewhere to call home, but there aren’t enough Gypsy and Traveller sites in the area. ”
