Gypsy and Traveller Call for Sites

Gypsy and Traveller Call for Sites

The Local Plan for Buckinghamshire (LP4B) will allocate sites for development in the period up to 2045 to meet the housing, economic development need including the Gypsy, Traveller and Travelling Showpeople needs of Buckinghamshire.

We have previously undertaken 4 call for sites engagement exercises however limited sites have been promoted for Traveller accommodation. Our new need figure has increased significantly. Because of this, the Local Plan will be expected to provide sites for approximately 681 pitches and 30 plots for the period until 2045. This call for sites engagement exercise offers another opportunity for submitting new sites for Traveller accommodation so that we can consider all possible sites.

Guidelines for submission

• Please complete a separate form for each site. 
• Please include as much information as possible including your connection to the site; you must also provide a location map that clearly identifies the site boundary and any adjacent land also under your control/ownership. Sites can be put forward by anyone or any organisation, although typically they are promoted by landowners, developers, agents, local businesses, individuals and groups.  
• Please do not send in details of sites beyond the Buckinghamshire boundary. 
• Sites submitted in response to previous calls for sites do not need to be resubmitted. If you wish to send us updated information on sites previously submitted, please contact us using the email address below.  

Please note that any information you submit will be made publicly available by Buckinghamshire Council and will be identifiable by name or organisation, although the Council will redact any signatures and contact details. (Buckinghamshire Council is the data controller for the purposes of the Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulations). Please see attached our privacy notice.

If you are in doubt about whether to submit a site or if you have any other queries, please contact the Planning Policy Team by emailing planningpolicyteam.bc@buckinghamshire.gov.uk

Or by post to: Call for Sites, Planning Policy Team, Buckinghamshire Council, Walton Street, Aylesbury, HP20 1UA.

The form is broken down into two parts, the first part includes essential information we need to assess the site. Part 2 would be useful to know but is not essential.
