84 Food Growing and Allotments

Existing allotments are accorded the highest level of protection in this Plan.

A. There should be no net loss of allotment sites, and the intensification of land currently used to grow food will be supported where management arrangements allow.

B. Development proposals will be expected to contribute to the supply, quality and accessibility of private and communal spaces on which to grow food and flowers.This may be in the form of financial or on-site contributions. On-site contributions must be supported by a maintenance plan at application stage.
