Carrswood Gypsy & Traveller Site Pitch Designation Change
In 2015 the Council, in partnership with Elim
Housing, developed and opened the Carrswood View Gypsy &
Traveller site. The site provides 13 pitches comprising 7 permanent
& 5 transit pitches. Since site opening the permanent pitches
have proved very successful with full occupancy and only very
limited resident turnover. However, the transit pitches have proved
less successful suffering from low demand & operational
challenges.
The site was designed so that later, and if required, the split
between permanent and transit pitches could be amended. As such
three of the transit pitches will now be redesignated and utilised
as permanent pitches, thus maximising the available resources for
the wider Gypsy & Traveller community. Planning permission for
the redesignation of the three pitches and some minor alterations
to the site has been consented.
