INFORMATION

East of England (EERA) Single Issue Review

In February 2006 the Regional Planning Panel decided to proceed with a single issue review to the emerging East of England Plan to address the accommodation needs of the Gypsy and Traveller Communities in the East of England. The review is now complete. The review was required to:
• Address the pressing need for regional policy to assist with local authorities in the East of England in identifying the appropriate number and location of Gypsy and Traveller caravan sites through their Local Development Document
• Conform with ODPM Circular 01/2006 Planning for Gypsy and Traveller Caravan Sites, which states the RSS revisions should "identify the number of pitches required (but not their location) for each local planning authority in the light of local authority Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessments (GTAAs) and a strategic view of needs across the region".
