Update on Traveller site

The following advice has been received from Sarah Marshall who is the Planning Enforcement Team Leader for Uttlesford District Council.

"I thought it would be timely to provide the Parish with an update.

I have been in contact with the Planning Inspectorate as we have not heard of anything about the progress of appeal.  The delay is due to the fact there is a shortage of planning Inspectors who can deal with Inquiries relating to Traveller and Gypsy sites.  The person I spoke to said that he would raise it with his manager who oversees the progress of appeals, which I understand is done by date order, to see if this can be prioritised as we are getting complaints about the delay.

With regards to other possible changes on the site which have been requested, this matter is still with the legal officers.

At this stage this is all I am able to do but will follow it up in a few weeks' time to see if there is any progress if I haven't heard anything.  I will of course come back to you about it."

Further information will be posted to the website as received.
