Travellers' site decision will go to appeal bid - Gloucestershire

PLANS to create a Travellers' site near Tewkesbury will be decided on appeal.

Herbert Rogers wants to create an eight-pitch caravan site for Gypsies and Travellers on waste land at Claydon, a hamlet near Fiddington.

Tewkesbury Borough Council refused to grant planning permission in August of last year. It was not happy with the proposal after the county council said Mr Rogers did not own an embankment by the entrance to the site which meant visibility could be a problem in the future.

The borough received eight letters of objection to the proposal and two letters supporting it. The parish council was against the development.

Now Mr Rogers has appealed against the borough's decision to refuse the scheme.

It means it will be decided by the Bristol-based Planning Inspectorate, which will consider written representations from the various parties, followed by an inspector's site visit.
