INTRODUCTION
Welcome to 21st Century Allotments in New Developments from The National Allotment Society.
Well-designed allotments in new developments can help councils and developers meet their statutory duties and the planning priorities required for the sustainable development of local communities.With a long-standing tradition of community management, allotments are a low risk investment with few long term commitments.
This guide provides design-led, policy-based, guidance for planners and developers who are looking to include allotments in new developments. You might be a planner, civil engineer, architect or project manager.
You could be working on various stages of a new development e.g., a single housing estate, a series of new ‘garden villages’, or a new industrial development where allotments in the immediate residential surroundings can help to achieve biodiversity net gain.
