A Gypsy and Traveller site would harm the character and appearance of the village and
result in an unacceptable visual impact. House prices in the area would plummet.
It is no coincidence that many traveller sites are situated in locations away from developed areas because the travellers have chosen these secluded locations for compatibility with their lifestyle. Their wishes should be respected by allocating similar sites unbounded by other development.
Such a lifestyle has little or no requirement for a rail link so the advantage of sites 020 and 021 with their proximity to the rail station would be better used for other people who would rely heavily on the rail link.
