Development Plan Document (DPD) Scoping Report
The consultation is now closed. The public consultation on the Gypsy and Traveller DPD, and the associated Sustainability Appraisal (SA), ran for an 8 week period from 2 July to 27 August 2018.
This was the first formal stage in the planning process (known as Regulation 18 consultation). The consultation included a number of questions which consultees were invited to answer. The purpose of this consultation was to inform statutory consultees, the public and relevant organisations of our intention to produce a DPD; the progress made so far and to consider what the DPD ought to contain.
In addition, we formally invited the submission of potential sites and supporting information as part of a 'call for sites' to meet the needs of the Gypsy and Traveller community.
The responses received as part of this consultation were taken into account within the Options DPD.
