The Local Plan is currently under examination.
Following consideration of policies H5 ‘Gypsies and
Travellers’ and H6 ‘Travelling Showpeople’ in
detail at the Phase 5 Hearing session in March 2024, the Inspectors
concluded in their letter of 7 May 2024 (EXINS50) that consultation
on Main Modifications to the policies were required. The Main
Modifications required by the Inspectors were subsequently agreed
in detail.
The Council conducted a citywide consultation for a statutory 6
weeks between 15 July to 30 August. The Consultation deadline was
extended further to 3 September 2024 in agreement with the
Inspectors. The Consultation material remains available via our
webpage: Local Plan Proposed Main Modifications Consultation July
