Traveller pitch locations needed
Harborough District Council will be undertaking a Gypsy and Traveller and Travelling Showpeople Site Identification Study, to identify potential sites to meet identified needs in the district.
The council is duty-bound to ensure it has identified as many potential sites as possible, to meet expected development needs to 2031.

All qualifying sites submitted will be assessed to ensure they can help to provide a supply of suitable, available and achievable land to meet future gypsy, traveller and travelling showpeople needs.
The assessment of these sites will inform the new Local Plan through the Site Identification Study, expected to be completed by summer this year.
A spokesman for the council said: “It is important to note that the assessment itself will not determine whether a site should be allocated for development. This will be done through the new Local Plan.”
