This
additional Issues and Options paper forms the first stage in preparing the Gypsy
and Traveller site allocations in the Housing and Employment Land Allocations
Development Plan Document (DPD).
Following the Issues
and Options stage of the Housing and Employment Land Allocations DPD, the council
resolved to produce an Additional Issues and Options paper. This is due
to the fact that no sites had been identified for Gypsy and Traveller sites
in the previous round of consultation.
This document sets
out background information as to where Gypsy and Traveller sites need to be
provided in North Lincolnshire over the next 15 years.
This Issues and
Options paper proposes potential site options that may be appropriate for Gypsy
and Traveller sites, gauge public opinion on the proposed sites and allow possible
alternative sites to be submitted for consideration in the Housing and Employment
Land Allocations DPD at the Preferred Options stage.
The council, in
partnership with North East Lincolnshire Council has a Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation
Assessment (GTAA). This has identified Scunthorpe, Brigg and Barton upon
Humber as areas where Gypsy and Traveller sites should be located, due its findings
and the number of repeat encampments in these areas. From these findings the
council has decided to look primarily at Scunthorpe, Brigg and Barton upon Humber
for suitable sites.
