Oswestry Gypsy site bid by Shropshire Council - Shropshire

A Travellers’ camp near Oswestry could be extended to make up for a shortage of pitches across the county.

Shropshire Council wants to create up to ten pitches at the Park Hall site.

The council says each pitch will house one family, with room for a caravan, static mobile home and parking.

“Individual amenity blocks will provide kitchen, bathroom and daytime living facilities for the residents, to be developed as semi-detached units with independent access from each pitch,” the council says in its planning application. The site will be designed to take into account more sustainable construction methods and site layouts.”

The council, which says there is a shortfall of sites across the county, hopes to determine the application in March.

Councillors earlier this month refused permission by one family to develop a site in nearby Gobowen.
