Planning

Travellers are now permitted to build on greenbelt land without Planning Permission, at a time of housing crisis when most people are unable to get permission to build on brownfields land. One of the results of this is the largest illegal campsite in Europe firmly established in the South East.

Is it about time someone asked 'What are the rights of the populace born in the areas which Travellers decide to target?' or, 'Why, when local people cannot obtain planning permission, can complete strangers have preference in spite of the protest of the local populace and Local Authorities?' or 'Why do the Travellers not have the same powers to ignore the laws in their country of origin?'
