CH6 Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation

The Council will work closely with LBHF, the Mayor of London and TfL to protect, improve and, if possible, increase the capacity of the existing Travellers’ site at Stable Way which the Councils jointly manage. Additional sites for temporary or permanent use and any applications at Stable Way should meet the following criteria:

  • the site can provide for a satisfactory arrangement of pitches, permanent buildings and open space;
  • use of the site would have an acceptable effect on the safety and amenity of occupiers of adjoining land;
  • use of the site would be acceptable in terms of amenity, safety and local environment for future and / or current Gypsy and Traveller occupiers;
  • the use could be supported by adequate physical and social infrastructure (such as access to education, health, welfare and employment) in the locality.
