Greater Norwich Local Plan Gypsy and Traveller Sites Focused Consultation

Representation ID: 24746

Received: 05/03/2023

Respondent: Mr Christopher Charles

Representation Summary:

Postwick Park and Ride (owned by Norfolk County Council) has continued to be used by the Traveller community over the years. It is obviously a location that meets the needs of the Gypsy and Traveller community given their repeated visits. In 2022 the Park and Ride has not reopened after the Covid test centre and sits redundant. It has existing infrastructure and mature landscaped site shielding from neighbouring boundaries. I propose this vacant site is investigated as a location to meet the suggested needs of pitches in Norfolk.
