* Evenly distribute Gypsy/Traveller sites/pitches based on per capita residents throughout the district.
* Utilise the sites that already exist that have spaces,
Most of the provision for Gypsy and Traveller sites are situated in the South West of the district around the Lutterworth Area. The proportion of Gypsy and Traveller sites, in proportion to the resident population of the area, is far higher than the Market Harborough area for instance.
Showmen and Gypsy and Traveller sites appear to be in over provision if there is a potential further 10 sites in Gilmorton and 18 for which planning could be resurrected in Moorbarns Lane.
That being said, an additional 3 pitches on the Ullesthorpe site would be easier to Manage rather than starting another new site at Spinney Farm
