Adopted Site Specific Policies and Proposals Development Plan Document4 Gypsy and Traveller Sites4.1 Breckland has a requirement to provide 15 permanent pitches by 2011 as set out in the Regional SpatialStrategy Review (adopted May 2008). The adopted Core Strategy Policy CS2 states that the search for permanentpitch provision to 2011 will be focused along the A11 corridor. Recent encampments at Attleborough indicatethat there is a need in the area for authorised and managed provision. This will be considered as part of theAttleborough and Snetterton Heath Area Action Plan.4.2 Away from the A11 corridor, Gypsy and Traveller provision has been made on the A47. A permanentsite at Swaffham Splashes provides for 23 pitches and this site attracts regular visitors who often camp at locationsin the town outside of the authorised site. Additionally, there have been occasional incidences of unauthorisedGypsy and Traveller encampments in Dereham, including new age travellers. These tend to be temporary visitswhich nonetheless indicate that there is some need for future provision along the A47.4.3 The Regional Spatial Strategy states that after 2011, local planning authorities should plan for a 3%annual increase in pitch provision over the period to 2021. This equates to an additional 16 pitches in Brecklandbetween 2011 and 2021. The Regional Spatial Strategy is due to be abolished and further Gypsy and TravellerAccommodation Assessment work will inform where the additional provision post 2011 needs to be made.Therefore, it is too premature at this stage to identify the location of provision post 2011, without the appropriatelyrobust evidence, as part of this Site Specifics document. The Site Specific document is scheduled within theLocal Development Scheme to be reviewed on a 3 yearly basis. If at the point of review the need and locationfor a gypsy and traveller site is confirmed then the review process can facilitate this.48
