HSG12 - SITES FOR TRAVELLING SHOW PEOPLE

Permanent sites for travelling show people will be permitted in the built-up areas of the District provided:

  • the development would not have an adverse environmental impact on the locality including nuisance to neighbours from vehicular movement, the maintenance and testing of equipment and other activities;
  • the development would be compatible with the character and appearance of the surrounding area;
  • the site has safe and convenient access to a suitable highway and is reasonably convenient for schools and other community facilities;
  • the development would not be visually conspicuous from or adversely affect the appearance of the Green Belt.

The Council will consider imposing conditions limiting the proportion of a site which may be covered by equipment or the hours during which equipment may be tested.

Permanent sites for travelling show people will not normally be permitted in the countryside or villages in the District unless they are in accordance with Policy RUD19 and accord otherwise with criteria 1-4 of this Policy.
