Greater Norwich Local Plan Gypsy and Traveller Sites Focused Consultation

Representation ID: 24733

Received: 03/03/2023

Respondent: Norfolk County Council Gypsy Roma Traveller Service

Representation Summary:

Our team recently visited established landowners with existing pitches over the last few months to discuss the GNLP identifying the shortages in pitches for the Gypsy, Roma, Traveller community. Many existing landowners welcome support to identify land and pitches for their growing community and the recognition that there is a shortage of GRT accommodation.
Our team supported the landowners to come forward and identified 2 further pieces of land which could be suitable for pitches at Hevingham and Flordon. This is an excellent piece of work which has been greatly welcomed by the GRT community.
