Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
We are a national charity working on behalf of Gypsies and Travellers. We object to Policy H5 and the text that precedes it because it is unsound in that it does not rely on any evidence base to support it. None of the need assessed in the 2007 Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment has been met, nor has there been any updating of that assessment. As the policy fails to provide any mechanism by which need will be met, nor any evidence base to show the extent of need, we consider that it fails the test of soundness.
