Gypsy and Traveller Site Provision – Call for Sites

Landowners and their agents in Conwy are invited by Conwy County Borough Council to make proposals for potential Gypsy (traveller) sites in the east of the County Borough.

The Council has a statutory duty to meet the needs of the Gypsy Traveller Community and is currently investigating the potential for new sites to fulfil this duty.

Proposed potential sites must have good road access and be located within reasonable distance of local amenities. At this stage there is no guarantee that any proposed site will meet the required criteria and receive the support of the Council, nor is there any undertaking from the Council to purchase a suitable site.

If you wish to propose a site please submit details as outlined below (by 22nd September, 2017)

Note: The Council encourages site submissions using the form and interactive mapping tool below; however, if you wish to submit your site via email or post, please send details covering the questions below along with a site plan (1:2500 or 1:1250 scale map) with the boundary clearly marked and site ownership information to:

Email: cdll.ldp@conwy.gov.uk
Post: Strategic Planning Policy Service, Conwy County Borough Council, Library Building, Mostyn Street, Llandudno LL30 2RP
