Applications for Planning Permissions by Gypsies and Travellers Ⅱ

摘要

1. In order to ensure continued compliance with government guidance on planning applications by gypsies and travellers which is contrary to one or more of the development plan policies, an LPA should impose a condition making the consent personal to the applicant;2. LPAs should not grant consent for gypsy and traveller use to persons who are not gypsies or travellers, notwithstanding the imposition of a condition of the kind referred to above, as such a condition is likely to fail the NPPF tests as to enforceability, precision and reasonability; and 3. In considering applications for consent for the placing of mobile (particularly static) units, LPAs should have regard to any restrictions on access or other geographical features of the application site which would make it unsuitable for the placement of a unit or units of the maximum size permitted by the definition of "caravan", and should consider restricting the size to what is reasonable in the circumstances either in terms of the description of the development (preferable), or at least by condition, and refer either to approved drawings or reserve matters of design and other detail for later approval.
