Memorandum by Chichester District Council
(TF 47)
I refer to your letter and enclosure of 21 February
2000 regarding this Sub-Committee inquiry. In response to a previous
request, I wrote to Ms Aston of the LGA on 1 February enclosing
a copy of a report to this Council's Executive Board which provides
the background to the case referred to by Mrs Montgomery in 3.2(5)
of her submission.
I enclose for your information a copy of that
report. [2]
In answer to your specific points, Chichester
District Council has policies on Travelling Showpeople sites in
the adopted Chichester District Local Plan First Review 1999 (Policies
RE20 and RE21). Copies of these policies are also enclosed. [3]
As far as action under Section 15 of the Circular
22/91 is concerned, you will see from the Executive Board Report
that this Council has spent a considerable amount of time and
resources searching for a suitable alternative site and may compulsorily
purchase the site referred to as Site 2 in the report in order
to secure the vacation of the site at Prior's Leaze Lane, Hambrook.
