Monday, 22 July 2024 06:10

More than one-hundred objections were received in response to an application to create a site for the Gypsy and Travellers Community in Kessingland.

After 104 objections were lodged to a plan to develop a plot of Land in Kessingland for travellers, the developer has withdrawn the application.

Kayleigh Smith had hoped to create a site for eight static caravans and eight touring caravans for the Gypsy and Traveller community on what is now a plot of farmland, just west of the A12 London Road and south of the roundabout with Romany Lane.

Kessingland Parish Council was one of those who had objected to the plans.
