Submitted proposal: The site is proposed for 7 new pitches, in addition to the 3 existing pitches, therefore bringing the total number of pitches on this site to 10.

Status: An existing site with 3 permanent pitches, which is being proposed for extension. The site is privately owned

Details: Oak Tree Nursery and Magpie Farm are conveniently located on the edge of Upper Caldecote and about half a mile west of Biggleswade. Oak Tree Nursery is occupied by a mixture of grassland and a nursery. The rear of Oak Tree Nursery is currently occupied by large glasshouses in various states of disrepair, no longer being utilised. The Gypsy family who purchased this site intend to retain one glasshouse for horticultural purposes. The remaining glasshouse, boats, a day room (not utilised) and a variety of equipment will be disposed of. Magpie Farm is currently home to Gypsy and Traveller families on three permanent pitches.

The site is well located to the local road network and the Highways Authority have advised that adequate visibility onto Hill Lane could be achieved by the removal of the fence and newly planted hedge.
