Chiltern District Council has published details of a public consultation regarding Gypsy, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople Site Options which will run from 2nd September to 14th October.
Full details can be found on the Council’s website, at http://www.chiltern.gov.uk/planning/deliverydevelopmentplandocument
This is part of a lengthy process. The Council emphasises that although it has identified potential sites at this stage of the process, that does not mean that those sites are acceptable in planning terms, since all of them are on Green Belt land.
Area 4 identified in the document is a field on the Winkers Farm site between Winkers nightclub and the Scout Camp. The Chalfont Heights Estate holds restrictive covenants over the fields belonging to Winkers Farm.
The Council acknowledges that the owners of the site have not yet even been contacted to determine whether they are prepared to allow the site to be used.
Chalfont Heights Roads Committee Limited will be submitting a response to the Council’s consultation. Residents of the estate may wish to submit individual responses and should follow the procedure set out on the Council’s website.
