OS2 Allotments

Unless there is demonstrably no demand, the redevelopment of allotment sites, as listed in Policy Annex OS2 and identified on the Proposals Map, will not be permitted without satisfactory arrangements being made for the provision of alternative facilities before the original allotments are lost. Any such alternative facilities will be required to be provided at easily accessible sites close to the community they will serve and at a level that matches the identified demand.

Provision of additional allotment facilities will be supported and encouraged at accessible sites where there is an identified unmet local demand.

Boundary treatments and other structures associated with new provision will be required to conserve local character as defined in the Character Area Appraisals SPD. On-site provision of facilities for composting and rainwater harvesting will be encouraged.
