Government policy is clear that pitches only need to be provided for Gypsies and Travellers that meet
the PPTS 2015 definition. CDC appear to have gone beyond the PPTRS requirements in seeking to provide accommodation for full cultural need (Sustainability Assessment appendix 3) a term that through its ambiguity will result in excess provision and in inappropriate locations.. The plan therefore provides provision in excess of actual defined need.
Provision should be made on the basis of PPTS 2015 and not the wider cultural need.
