PLANS for a Travellers site in Hady has been refused.
Chesterfield Borough Council rejected the scheme for a family Traveller site with associated facilities at Hady Lane.
Over 200 people attended a public meeting to speak out against the proposal for two pitches each containing mobile homes, touring caravans and amenity blocks plus an additional touring caravan.
One hundred and seventy nine people signed a petition against the site saying it would have a negative impact on the landscape.
Residents also raised fears about crime, anti-social behaviour and noise and litter.
Planners said the development would meet a need for ‘culturally specific local accommodation,’ and there was a lack of suitable alternative sites but raised fears about lack of sewage services.
Councillors backed officer’s recommendation and refused the application
