Gypsy and Traveller sites GT05 Granary Cottage and GT23 Glenside are both within sight of the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal Conservation Area and the Key Requirements of pitch positioning and of tree and hedge boundary reinforcement to protect the setting of the listed canal bridge and the Conservation Area are supported. GT08 Brinsford Bridge is directly canalside and has a history of ignoring planning conditions so the Key Requirement to establish a hedged boundary along the canal bank should be enforced.

Note that Inset Plan 51 wrongly labels site GT23 as GT05, and site GT05 is not labelled.
