Representation Summary:

I Object for two reasons:
There is already one travellers site within the parish. This site is not full and has capacity - there is no need for a second site within the same parish where amenities are already stretched to breaking point.
A planning proposal was rejected by Harborough Council for building houses on land off Claybrooke Road, Ullesthorpe as public access to village amenities on foot was not a safe option. Why then are they now proposing to permit a travellers site adjacent to this land using the same village access and consider this a safe option?
