The supporting evidence notwithstanding, the requirement for so many new pitches is still questioned. However, with any new provision, strong preference should given to publicly owned sites - and only in sustainable locations. Such sites should be principally for the use of members of the travelling community. The establishment of private sites should be subject to the same rigorous prior planning procedures as any other settlement/building.
