Respondent: Mrs Angela Kinzett
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
Map incorrect: not showing Access Road and roundabout/ unclear reference to farm track.
Foot/cycle ways appear more important than vehicular access.
Transport assessment should have been carried out as part of the proposals to avoid 'expectations' listed.
Proposed Gypsy/traveller site will have negative impact on Sidley and surrounding area, for
- safety of dog/walkers, cyclists, horse riders using routes either side of the site,
-local business on Ninfield Rd., and Cobbs Hill Caravan site bringing tourists and money into the area
-new homes adjacent to the site
- the safety of people in their homes
-shops in Sidley, an area needing boosting.
In 2007, travellers moved onto a field opposite Preston Cottage and caused huge distress to local people. First hand experience: I and others were harassed, intimidated, left feeling vulnerable. Theft, disrespect for property, confrontation between residents and travellers was a daily occurrence, the site left in a disgusting state. (See police and RDC planning records.)
Re: The Equality Impact Assessment Oct 2018, Conclusion 4.1, 4.2 states the site will benefit these racial/ ethnic group. This site will not benefit the local community. See also p273 Other Policies: Gypsies and Travellers with reference to the site at Brindies Tarn.
