Permanent Pitches4.5 Larger site sizes are more able to provide a mix of pitch sizes to reflectindividual household needs, and can also provide the scope for spaceto be set aside for future need. Final site capacities will partly bedetermined by pitch configuration which should reflect the site specificlocation. Sites should be attractive both to proposed site residents andin the context of surrounding land uses. The use of more generouspitch sizes also allows for landscaping and other mitigation measuresto be used where appropriate to achieve high quality site design. Thisalso assists in conserving residential amenity of neighbouring uses.Pitches to Meet Local Needs4.6 Gypsies, Travellers and Travelling Showpeople are not a uniformhomogeneous community, but rather a group of communities whichshare some features but have their own histories and traditions. TheWest of England Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation (and OtherNeeds) Assessment confirms that the predominant groups in Bath andNorth East Somerset are New Traveller, Irish Traveller and Showmen(‘Other’ also identified). The identification of a number of sites suitablefor allocation will assist in allowing sufficient space to be provided tomeet the differing needs of each community.Transit Pitches4.7 Transit pitches can require fewer amenities on-site and so have alesser pitch size requirement, though ‘Designing Gypsy and TravellerSites’ recommends the provision of site manager accommodation onsiteto establish permanent site management. The provision ofamenities on transit sites can vary according to how well used sites arepredicted to be. Where sites are likely to be irregularly used the figureof 200m 2 per pitch is more appropriate as a rough guide for estimatingtransit site pitch capacity.
4.8 By adopting these figures as rough guides to site capacity the Councilis not unconditionally determining final pitch numbers, but insteadindicating what is likely to be acceptable if the sites are taken forwardfor final allocation and thereafter when full planning permission issought for individual sites. The figures are intended as maximumfigures to take account of national planning guidance on the mostsuitable maximum site sizes for management purposes. This method ofassessing sites also allows for a mix of pitch sizes to be designed onindividual sites to take account of differing accommodation needs.
