Key information

Request reference number: MGLA190826-6242

Date of response:

Summary of request

  1. Please confirm whether the London Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment 2025 identifies any need for transit pitches or transit sites attributable to the London Borough of Islington. 
  2. Please provide the assessment of permanent versus transit accommodation need for Islington on which the identified pitch requirement is based.

Our response

  1. The London Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Needs Assessment 2025 identifies the need for transit pitches on a London wide basis. It does not identify need within individual boroughs. 
  2. The GTANA assessment of need for permanent pitches for Islington is set out in Appendix 13, page 94. See London GTANA Appendices 1-17 November 2025 Amended July 2026.pdf

    The London wide assessment of need for transit pitches is set out in paragraphs 5.122 and 5.123 of the London GTANA report. As explained above, this has been done on a London wide, not individual borough, basis. See London GTANA Report Final November 2025 amended version August 2026.pdf
