Abstract

The last Conservative administration privatized the provision of sites for travellers by introducing the 1994 Criminal Justice and Public Order Act and the associated Circular 1/94, 'Gipsy Sites and Planning'. This article reproduces the results of a study of local planning authorities' responses to the needs of 'newer' travellers—those who apparently contradict preconceived ideas about 'gypsies'—and critically examines the results in the light of these travellers' experiences of the land-use planning system thus far. It finds that there is a distinct blindness to these travellers' requirements and suggests that this may have indeed been anticipated.
