One of the key roles of planning is to, address accessibility for all members of the community to jobs, health, housing, education, shops, leisure and facilities, a basic requirement of the planning system as set out in PPS1 for England. Whilst there are examples of good practice, planning has not addressed these issues well for Gypsy and Traveller communities. There are insufficient sites, services and opportunities for people who wish to pursue a nomadic lifestyle.
This GPN is in a series of complementary parts. It aims to help practitioners deliver satisfactory services to Gypsy and Traveller communities. There is a strong focus on integrated, effective service delivery through the optimum use of stakeholder resources and partnership working.
It has been primarily written for planners working in England. However, it will provide assistance for non-planning stakeholders involved in planning and service delivery processes and to planners outside England.
