PLANS for a gypsy site between Trull and Corfe have raised concerns for residents and councillors.

An application from John Birch for the siting of six gypsy caravans with associated car parking at Fosgrove Paddock, Shoreditch, is in the process of being changed to six pitches.

Traditionally, a pitch comprises of one mobile home and one touring caravan.

Mr Birch has been in residence on the site for ten years and has been granted planning permission for one mobile home and two caravans.
