Neighbours support traveller caravan site plans for Sompting
Neighbours have written to Adur District Council in support of plans for a private Gypsy and traveller caravan site in Sompting.
An application has been made by PROwe Planning Solutions on behalf of George Lister for land at Stocks Gardens, in West Street.
Plans show change of use to a private site for four pitches, including parking, with the retention of existing caravans and hardstanding.
In the planning, design, access and travelling statement, it explains the land comprises fields which have been used for horses.
"The application is based on helping to meet the outstanding unmet need for Gypsy pitches," the statement adds.
"The applicant has always lived in a caravan or mobile home and is fiercely proud of their Gypsy upbringing and heritage and is resolute to maintain and continue their travelling lifestyle for their family to reflect the manner in which they were brought up."
Neighbours have written supporting letters, saying Mr and Mrs Lister have improved the land since they purchased it several years ago and have made additions for the benefit of local wildlife.
