Stop notice issued on 'cynical and unlawful' traveller pitches site

Retrospective plans have now been submitted, but residents have voiced concerns over reported “criminal activity” in the area.

Harborough District Council said it had issued a temporary stop notice for land at Woodway Lane, Claybrooke Parva, in Lutterworth, after an “unauthorised change of use” started late last month.

The notice requires the development, which has seen a number of traveller pitches on the land, be stopped immediately.

After the works had started, applicant Mr Smith applied to the council for a retrospective change of use of the land to nine “self-build and custom build” traveller pitches, “including associated access and works’.

A total of 75 objections have been received for this plan.
