West Suffolk Council awarded a contract to Arc 4 for a Gypsy Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment and site appraisal work.

The study provided a robust assessment to inform policy development in housing and planning and formed part of the evidence base for individual Local Plans.

It included a clear methodology and analysis of accommodation needs for those needing to live in a caravan or houseboat, covering bargees, Romany Gypsies, Irish and Scottish Travellers, new-age travellers, and travelling showmen.

The assessment was broken down into groups: Gypsies and Travellers meeting the planning policy definition, those not meeting it, travelling showmen, and houseboat dwellers including Bargee Travellers.

It met requirements of national policy such as the National Planning Policy Framework 2019 and Planning Policy for traveller sites (August 2015), relevant national guidance, and best practice guidance from the National Bargee Travellers Association.

The contract value was AUD 19,378.1.
