Summary

This consultation paper invites views on a proposed definition of 'gypsies and travellers' to apply in the context of regulations issued by ODPM under sections 225 and 226 of the Housing Act 2004.

The proposed definition builds on the 'planning definition' as set out in the Planning Circular 'Planning for Gypsy and Traveller Caravan Sites' (ODPM 01/2006) and extends this to capture a wider group whose accommodation needs have often been overlooked.

If you have any queries regarding the consultation please email the above address or contact Katie Jones on Email: katie.jones@communities.gsi.gov.uk.

Representative groups are asked to include a summary of the people and organisations they represent in their reply.
