In respect of allotment lands there is a clear distinction between the gross area of land which may contain allotments and the actual net area used for allotments and their immediate ancillary and supporting uses. My clients land at Northampton Road extends to 1.8ha but only about 0.75ha has been used as allotments over the last thirty years or so. Consequently emerging planning policies should, in the event that the land may be developed at some time in the future, only provide for an equivalent replacement of the net allotment area lost to development.
