Travelling Persons’ Sites

Back to Index

3.2.41     In addition to the community’s need for traditional housing there is a requirement for accommodation for the travelling members of East Dunbartonshire’s communities. The Council has been set a target by the Scottish Executive to provide two sites (with capacity for a total of 27 pitches) for traditional travelling persons in the plan area.

3.2.42     Following an extensive search, public meetings and a public inquiry, the Council identified two sites. One site at Lennoxtown has been developed.

Scottish Ministers have also indicated that they are minded to grant planning permission for a site at Auchenhowie Road, Milngavie, subject to the fulfilment of conditions.

3.2.43     The Council also proposes to develop this site within the plan period.
