EN2: Local food growing and production

The use of land and buildings as new allotments, orchards and for local food growing spaces and production will be supported, including the temporary use of vacant or derelict land or buildings and the use of incidental open space on housing estates and other open space areas, where this does not conflict with other policy objectives or land use priorities.

The incorporation of community gardens, allotments, orchards and innovative spaces for growing food, including green roofs, will be encouraged and supported in major new developments where possible and appropriate, particularly where there is demand for food growing space in the vicinity of the application site.

The inclusion of productive trees and plants in landscaping proposals for new developments will be encouraged where appropriate to the development.
