Gypsy / Traveller Pitch Allocation Policy Review

Gypsy / Traveller Pitch Allocation Policy Review | South Lanarkshire Council
TitleGypsy / Traveller Pitch Allocation Policy Review
Council ResourceHousing and Technical
Aims and ObjectivesThe policy sets out the way in which vacant pitches will be allocated at South Lanarkshire Council's two Gypsy / Traveller sites.

The policy is intended to ensure that -
- those assessed as being in most of need of a pitch are prioritised
- that South Lanarkshire Council is fair, efficient and consistent in the allocation of pitches
- that there is equality of opportunity in the allocation of pitches

The policy is consistent with our Equality & Diversity policy and ensures we act fairly and lawfully in all that we do.
ConclusionThe revised policy replaces the current pitch allocation policy which came into effect in 2010. The revised policy takes account of recent legislation and has been updated to more closely align with our mainstream housing allocations policy.

Our recommendation is to introduce the revised policy with effect from 1 April 2020, subject to the approval of Housing & Technical Resources Committee.
