The Hanrahan family has submitted a planning application for six caravans (three static and three touring) on a plot in Barham, near Canterbury, within the Kent Downs National Landscape. Villagers object, citing the site's location in a flood plain and its designation as unsuitable for development in the Local Plan. The applicant argues that the district has a shortage of traveller pitches and that the family will be responsible residents. The city council must weigh the objections against the family's personal circumstances; no decision date has been set.
