Site allocation

Travelling Showpeople

On pages 130 to 136 of the official PDF.

The human version (we wrote this, not the council)

This section sets out the site allocations for Travelling Showpeople. The needs assessment found a need for 6 plots, plus 10 plots from households with undetermined need. Five yards are allocated with a combined capacity of 49 plots, all in the Green Belt. Two yards behind Uxbridge Road in Mill End, TSP1 and TSP2, are safeguarded and intensified, adding 3 and 9 plots respectively. The remaining yards at Carpenders Park and Sarratt, TSP3 to TSP5, are safeguarded but cannot be expanded due to site constraints.

Tips for a response that counts

One focused page beats ten rambling ones. Read the full guide to consultations

  1. Submit a formal representation. This is the only response that must be considered at the plan’s independent examination. The emails below are worth sending too, but they do not count as representations. Open the official response portal

    This portal is one form for the whole plan, and it asks which policy or site allocation you are commenting on. Quote the policy reference and page numbers shown here in your answer so your point is logged against the right part.

    Write your comments before you open the portal: a notes app, an email draft or paper all work. Paste each one in and keep a copy. Ticking policies as you read builds the draft for you on the My response page.

  2. Email your ward councillors. They voted on this plan and represent you. The draft raises the consultation window and the missing costs.
