Nomadism is usually recognised by settled society as the sole (or salient) ethnic qualifier for Travellers, so its criminalisation and eradication erroneously signals the cultural assimilation of Travellers and Gypsies. This 'blindness' to the depth, complexity and strength of Traveller culture leaves 'settled' Travellers with little sensitive health and welfare support when they are forced into settled accommodation and it is most needed. The inability or unwillingness of many institutional support agencies to engage actively, supportively and sensitively with settled Travellers is creating a well of discontent among many young settled Travellers that is already evident in the high levels of criminalisation particularly in the settled Irish Traveller population<sup id="cite_ref-Power_18-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Power-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 46">: 46 </span></sup></p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Discrimination_towards_Romani_and_Travellers_in_Green_Belt_lands">Discrimination towards Romani and Travellers in Green Belt lands</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Environmental_racism_in_Western_Europe&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Discrimination towards Romani and Travellers in Green Belt lands"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Dale_Farm_scaffolding_and_sign.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Dale_Farm_scaffolding_and_sign.jpg/220px-Dale_Farm_scaffolding_and_sign.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Dale_Farm_scaffolding_and_sign.jpg/330px-Dale_Farm_scaffolding_and_sign.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1f/Dale_Farm_scaffolding_and_sign.jpg/440px-Dale_Farm_scaffolding_and_sign.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="680" /></a><figcaption>Dale Farm, prior to eviction</figcaption></figure> <p>In 2015, community secretary <a href="/wiki/Eric_Pickles" title="Eric Pickles">Eric Pickles</a> was found by a high court ruling to be in breach of the <a href="/wiki/Equality_Act_2010" title="Equality Act 2010">Equality Act 2010</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-Press_Association_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Press_Association-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to Justice Gilbart, sitting in London, Pickles had "unlawfully discriminated" against Romani communities seeking to establish camping sites in <a href="/wiki/Green_belt_(United_Kingdom)" title="Green belt (United Kingdom)">Green Belt</a> lands by systematically delaying and overturning their development proposals.<sup id="cite_ref-Press_Association_20-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Press_Association-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to Romani activists, "local councils have consistently failed to earmark land for potential sites in local plans, and many Gypsies and Travellers have bought land, including in the green belt, to develop sites for themselves".<sup id="cite_ref-Press_Association_20-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Press_Association-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Yet, according to Justice Gilbart, Pickles had created a policy in 2013–2014 that systematically turned down development appeal requests by "Romani Gypsies" and "Travellers".<sup id="cite_ref-Press_Association_20-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Press_Association-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This policy was found by Justice Gilbart to be a protocol "which discriminated against a racial group".<sup id="cite_ref-Press_Association_20-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Press_Association-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The planning minister, <a href="/wiki/Brandon_Lewis" title="Brandon Lewis">Brandon Lewis</a>, responded to the ruling by stating "The government's planning policy is clear that both temporary and permanent traveller sites are inappropriate development in the green belt.

Between the mid-19th and early 20th centuries the area declined in respectability as several landowning families departed and its population grew significantly as outward migration from London increased the population of poor and displaced residents (Smith, 2005, p 67). Of these, Gypsies and itinerants formed a significant minority: the 1881 census records 230 Gypsies and vagrants camping on Mitcham Common ... [Mitcham] contained an abundance of market gardens which provided regular seasonal employment with the locality becoming an important site for industry in the early to mid-20th century, particularly the 'dirty industries' such as paint making, chemical works and bone boiling, which had been expelled from inner London by the 1845 Health Act. The importance of Gypsy labour to the area's industry in this period is revealed by Montague, who notes that ... when Purdom's [paint and varnish] factory was originally established production had been seasonal, taking place mainly in the winter months when Gypsy and other casual labour employed on the physic gardens during the rest of the year was available at very low rates.

The identification of Travellers as an ethnic group has been a central premise of the human rights and community development work of Traveller advocacy organizations from at least the 1980s, and these groups by naming the discrimination and exclusion experiences by Travellers as a form of Irish racism have been influential in injecting the term into Irish political discourse (McVeigh 1996: 9)."

Another major justification for discriminatory practices was the widespread belief that Roma's situation is 'self-inflicted' or 'self-chosen.'

Twenty five of the eviction decisions were directed at six respondents or fewer and had existed anywhere from ten days up to three months. Despite these settlements being significantly smaller than many of the others and not having existed very long, "extensive inconveniences" in terms of sanitation costs were still cited in each decision.
