WARRINGTON Borough Council is proposing to turn three existing traveller sites into permanent sites.
The three locations are Two Acre Caravan Park in Walton, on Warrington Road, the Grappenhall Lodge site, on Cartridge Lane, and land in Collins Green, on Pennington Lane.
The authority's executive board is set to approve the town's local plan 'preferred development option' (PDO) at its meeting on Monday.
Proposals to turn the three sites into permanent sites are included in the plans.
In her report to members, Cllr Judith Guthrie, executive board member for environment and public protection, said: "These sites are well established and perform relatively well against the national planning policy criteria for site location.
"The council is in the process of updating its gypsy and traveller needs assessment in partnership with the Cheshire authorities and Halton.
"It is unlikely that these existing sites will meet all of Warrington's need and therefore an additional review of potential sites is proposed to be carried out ahead of the publication of the submission draft version of the local plan."
