Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

1. I am concerned the use may have local economic effects on businesses, house prices (including Additional costs to the council at the time of large cuts).
3. Doubts over council consultations, research - couldn't name any other site!)
4. We already have one site nearby why is another needed? (West Meadows have plenty of pitches).

Full text:

I am concerned about safety and traffic issues.

I am concerned that 5 pitches would only be the start with unofficial travellers also coming to the site (Dale farm?)

Concerned that the damage this would bring to the area would outweigh any benefits the site would bring - who would pay for it?

We have concerns of it also being near west meadows (West Meadows consists of 41 pitches, 12 single and 29 double) and the tensions it may bring between families).

Why is there a need for more permanent pitches?
