Travellers’ site decision deferred again - London

From the Enfield Advertiser

THE decision on whether to grant a planning application for a Travellers’ site in Crews Hill has been delayed for the third month in a row.

Enfield Council’s planning committee had been expected to turn down the application for three static caravans, a septic tank, fencing and landscaping on a site beside Durwen Nursery, in Tingeys Top Lane, Enfield, on Tuesday last week.

However,the item was scrapped from the agenda at the 11th hour, with councillors saying they still needed to visit the site, which is on designated green belt land.

Peter Jeffery, chairman of the Crews Hill Residents’ Association, said: “We want to support the council in enforcing green belt regulations.

“Everybody wants a decision and I am sure that even the applicants would appreciate knowing one way or another.” The next planning committee meeting is scheduled for March 26.
