Over 70 members of the public and local parish councils raised concerns over the plans
West Northamptonshire Council has approved plans to change a traveller's residential site to a showman's family quarters - despite over 70 objections from residents in the area. The site, which has been home to the applicant's family since 1974, is based at Ferndown and Pastures Farm, northeast of Hannington and close to the A43.
Councillor Daryl Basford, a member of Hannington Parish Council, raised worries the site was "half the size" of the village and it should be "considerably smaller than that". He said: "All we are asking for as a parish council is that it remains as it is. A single dwelling isolated from the village in the open space that is tied to agriculture and equestrian use.”The proposed site is seven hectares while the estimated size of Hannington is 13 hectares.
However, the Highways Officer has reviewed the roads and found that though there were six crashes at the crossroads, the site would not "make the existing situation worse or require mitigation". The understanding is that the family would leave the site in Easter for carnival season, and most likely not return in full until winter.
