M11: Allotments and community growing spaces
- Proposals that would result in the loss of all or part of existing allotment spaces will not be supported unless, the following has been robustly demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State:
- the allotment spaces in question are surplus to requirements; or
- at least equivalent or better provision of allotment space in terms of quantity and quality, including amenity value, is provided in a suitable location in the near vicinity for displaced allotment owners; and
- the proposed alternative use for the space has been agreed by a majority of parishioners.
- The provision of new community growing spaces of a size appropriate to developments and where these can be used to create attractive screening for, for example, car parking areas, roads and commercial servicing areas, will be encouraged. Access for vehicles to enable deliveries to the allotment/growing space is essential.
