HP09: Sub-Division of Pitches or Plots
The local planning authority will allow the sub-division of allocated or authorised Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople sites on a case by case basisprovided that all the following criteria are met:
- the living environment of residents on the proposed site and neighbouring land is protected;
- sites are of a suitable size to enable the creation of additional pitches or plots;
- there is no significant loss of soft and hard landscaping and amenity provision within the existing site, particularly where conditioned by a previous consent;
- there is no significant adverse impact on the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside; and
- there is no adverse impact in terms of highways access and vehicle movement.
The sub-division of plots/pitches on additional sites that might come forward within the green belt will be considered against green belt policy.
