Draft Local Plan Review
Q17. Do you agree with Policy P6? If not why not, and what alternative would you suggest?

The policy is non-compliant with National policy in Planning Policy for Traveller Sites as it only deals with the allocation of sites "should it be demonstrated that additional pitches are required".
This is unacceptable as it is not consistent with national policy as set out in National guidance which clearly states that local plans must set out criteria for assessing planning applications which may come forward where there is no identified need and that all applications should be determined on merit and in accordance with appropriate criteria, irrespective of need.
The policy wording and justification should be modified.
