Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what information his Department holds on whether planning consent has been granted for a new traveller site situated in a conservation area within England since 2010.

The Department does not hold the information requested. Although we collect quarterly data from local planning authorities on the planning decisions that they have made - including on new traveller sites - information is not collected on whether such decisions relate to sites within a conservation area.
