  • But the council says there is "unmet need" for traveller accommodation in the area.

A proposal to expand a Traveller site near Chichester, West Sussex, was rejected by the local council due to concerns over the impact on the rural landscape and the lack of a compelling case for the expansion. The plan, submitted by the Dee family, aimed to increase the number of caravans from four to six and add a day room at their site in Colworth. Despite the family's long-standing presence and contributions to the community, the Chichester District Council's planning committee voted unanimously against the expansion, citing the preservation of the area's character and appearance as paramount. The decision reflects ongoing tensions between the needs of the Traveller community and local planning policies aimed at protecting rural environments.
