THE COUNCIL is considering the "next steps" for taking enforcement action over the unauthorised development of a Traveller family site in Flintshire.
The Leader reported on Wednesday that Flintshire Council's planning department had refused an application for a Traveller family site on land off Gladstone Way in Hawarden.
The application was for the stationing of caravans for residential purposes, together with the formation of hardstanding and a utility/day room, and an entrance gate and fencing. Flintshire Council has said the development has taken place without planning permission.
