A council will decide later whether to order the removal of a protest camp outside an unauthorised Gypsy site in the West Midlands.
The Residents Against Inappropriate Development (RAID) protest camp is in Eaves Green Lane, Meriden.
Solihull Borough Council said it had delayed taking enforcement action until an appeal against the refusal of planning permission was decided.
The appeal was dismissed on 23 November.
Villagers set up the camp in the gateway to a builder's yard in 2010 to monitor the travellers and protest against the site.
The council's planning committee will meet to decide whether to issue an enforcement notice at 16:30 GMT.
Protests began shortly after the unauthorised site was set up at Meriden in May 2010.
The Travellers lost their appeal to stay on the greenbelt land in October this year.
They applied for retrospective permission to build eight permanent pitches for their caravans.
Solihull Borough Council refused planning permission and the appeal upheld the council's decision.
