request that the Council allocate Land at Chequers Public House, Chequers Road, South Weald for a showmen's yard in accordance with guidance set out in the NPPF and the PPTS. We are not asking for the site to be de-allocated from the Green Belt, but remain inside the Green Belt but also be designated for use as showmen's yard.
The Site is deliverable in the contents of the NPPF, it is PDL and it is already developed with a similar use operating at present.
We consider that the site is acceptable for use as a showmen's yard given the criteria found in the PPTS [see full text for detailed breakdown of how the site addresses each of the criteria] the draft emerging Local Plan as well as the Showmen's Guild of Great Britain's guidance. It is also found to be sustainable development within the context of the NPPF.
