  • Targets for additional pitch provision take account of need and the availability of suitable sites; and
  • Proposals for sites to accommodate the specific needs of Travellers (Irish and Scottish), Gypsies, Roma, Sinti and Travelling Show People should:
    • Be located on a site and in an area that is environmentally acceptable for residential occupation;
    • Have no significant adverse effects on the amenity of occupiers of adjoining land;
    • Have acceptable road and pedestrian access and be accessible to local services and public transport; and
