Gypsy and Traveller Site Plans Submitted for Village
OXFORDSHIRE, JUN 24 – Councils consider accommodation plans amid villagers' fears of property value drops and planning breaches near multiple unauthorised Traveller sites in Oxfordshire, with 37 objections recorded.
- On June 20, Willy Stokes submitted a plan for Gypsy/Traveller pitches at Wattle Cottage Farm near Didcot, prompting villagers’ fears of falling house values.
- The outdated five-year-old Gypsy Traveller Accommodation Assessment and land classified as equestrian justify the application for mixed-use development, citing lack of suitable alternatives and special circumstances.
- Local reports reveal all four green belt sites house unauthorised caravans, with a 10ft fence and gravel surfacing erected in three days, angering villagers over blatant regulation breaches.
- Villagers express fears over vandalism and theft, feeling trapped by four Traveller sites since 2017, with residents reluctant to discuss impacts on their homes.
- Following ongoing investigations, Warrington Borough Council has served formal notices on multiple unauthorised Traveller sites, with legal appeals and enforcement actions still pending across several locations.
