Representation Summary:

Supportive of Plan seeking to identify land within Borough for permanent Gypsy and Traveller pitches to meet identified need. Statement of Common Ground states that each local authority's plan will meet its own need and address delivery. Where capacity cannot be met within the authority's boundary, comprehensive re-assessment of deliverability will be undertaken. ISPA board will consider how unmet need can be met within the ISPA. Noted that CS11 includes reference to developing short stay site between Ipswich and Felixstowe - policy should apply flexibility in meeting short stay needs to be consistent with approach in Statement of Common Ground.
