Residents in Newark and Sherwood are being consulted on 22 potential locations for new traveller sites.
The district council says the traveller community forms a "longstanding" part of the district's poulation and is required to meet the housing need for all sections of society, which includes sites for travellers.
A new document has detailed this need and is asking for public consultation on 22 sites, some of which are currently not considered suitable, so residents can voice their thoughts on the situation.
The 22 sites were put forward by private landowners who believe the areas to be suitable for travellers.
Speaking of the plans councillor Roger Blaney, chairman of Newark and Sherwood District Council’s planning committee, said: "As part of this report, there are proposed plans for the allocation of new Gypsy and Traveller sites in the district.
"We are required by the Government to provide land for not only housing and commercial development, but also for Gypsy and Traveller sites.
"Newark is home to a diverse community, which includes its valued and historic connection with the Traveller traditions.
"The sites we are considering allocating have been promoted to the district council as suitable by landowners and/or agents.
"We have given our suggested views on the suitability of this land from a planning perspective but we now need local residents to give us their thoughts on this.
"Alongside proposed land allocations, we are publishing proposed amendments to the policies which we will pay regard to when deciding planning applications."
The council says feedback can be given up to 5pm on September 21 this year and the potential sites include:
Site 1 - Chestnut Lodge, Barnby
Site 2 - Belvoir Ironworks North, Newark
Site 3 – Maltkiln Lane, Newark
Site 4 – Bower Abattoir, Tolney Lane, Newark
Site 5 – Green Park, Newark
Site 6 – Denton Close, Balderton
Site 7 – Fen Lane, Balderton
Site 8 - Land to the North West of Winthorpe Road, Newark
Site 9 – Land at Barnby Road / Clay Lane, Newark
Site 10 - Seven Oaks, Edingley
Site 11 – Shannon Caravan Site, Ollerton
Site 12 – The Paddock, Ollerton
Site 13 – The Stables, Ollerton
Site 14 – Dunromin, Ollerton
Site 15 – Greenwood, Ollerton
Site 16 - Newark Road/ Wellow Road North, Ollerton/Wellow
Site 17 – Newark Road/ Wellow Road South, Wellow
Site 18 – Land adjacent Shannon Caravan Park, Ollerton
Site 19 – Cottage Farm, Blidworth/Rainworth
Site 20 – Station Road, Collingham
Site 21 – The Mulberries, Collingham
Site 22 – Gravelley Lane, Fiskerton
The report, which can be read online, states there is the need for 118 sites between now and 2034, including 77 over the five years from 2019 to 2024.
It also allows public views to be lodged regarding land allocations for housing across the Newark, Southwell, Nottingham Fringe, Sherwood and Mansfield areas.
Councillor Blaney added: "This document is incredibly important as it outlines proposed changes to our housing and employment land allocations alongside a review of other key planning policies, including those concerning affordable housing provision.
“The fact that we are one of only a handful of planning authorities in the county to not need to allocate additional land for housing and employment provision is testament to the very careful previous decisions we have taken and the continuing delivery of new homes, jobs, and affordable housing across the district.
