Bromham Gypsy site could be back on the cards - Bedfordshire

From Bedfordshire On Sunday

A CONTROVERSIAL Gypsy and Traveller site which was refused last year by a planning committee is to now go before a public inquiry.

In May last year Bedford Borough Council refused planning permission for a five pitch Gypsy and Traveller site at Bromham Nurseries for a number of reasons including its ‘unsustainable location’, and the fact the applicant had failed to supply information on potential noise and land contamination.

This month however, the applicant, Mrs R Jolley, has now appealed against the authority’s decision and as a result it will have to go before a planning inspector at Bedford Borough Hall on September 16.

The application is for five pitches, including five mobile homes and touring caravans as well as five utility blocks and associated amenities.
