In a letter to South Norfolk Council’s director of planning, Andrew Gregory, Mr Bacon said he felt the site went against South Norfolk Council’s policy that there should be no more than one site per parish and there was already a site in Brockdish.
He also drew attention to the fact that Norfolk County Council’s Highways Department had made a firm transport objection and the area was of outstanding beauty and environmental sensitivity.
Mr Bacon’s comments were part of the eight-week consultation period, which has been held to discuss the suitability of the proposed sites.
Ronnie Hoare, chairman of South Norfolk Gypsy and Traveller Working Group, said: “We’re grateful to Richard Bacon for joining this consultation.
“His comments and concerns will be considered carefully alongside the many hundreds of representations we have received so far from our community.”
