In a recent appeal decision [Ref: APP/R0660/C/08/2089992] a Planning Inspector has ruled that PPS3 applies to provision for gypsies and travellers and as such LPAs must demonstrate a rolling 5 year supply of available and developable land for gypsies and travellers ‘housing’. “ Furthermore, Planning Policy Statement 3 ‘Housing’ (PPS3) requires local planning authorities to assess and demonstrate the extent to which existing plans identify and maintain a rolling five year supply of deliverable land for housing; this is applicable to the need to accommodate gypsies and travellers as well as the settled community.” [Para 21 of Decision Letter] Is anyone aware of this and does anyone have good practice advice on how to successfully monitor and demonstrate a rolling 5 year supply?
