The Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment 2016 [PDF, 6.5MB] provides information to make sure we are planning to provide the right number of Gypsy and Traveller pitches and Travelling Show people plots in the future. This enables us to comply with planning policy and legislation in the same way as we plan for the needs of the settled community.
2023/24 update
Cambridge City and South Cambridgeshire District councils commissioned Arc4 to carry out a new Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment, to help both councils achieve an updated understanding the accommodation needs of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities across Greater Cambridge.
Their report has now been published.
The evidence collected will help to inform the emerging Greater Cambridge Local Plan, which is currently being developed, and also help us to understand the needs of families or groups needing somewhere to stop temporarily in the area in the years ahead.
