Our rural parish supports the retention of existing allotments, recognizing their value for food security, well-being, and biodiversity. The NPPF (para 96) highlights the need for healthy, inclusive places, emphasizing allotments and green spaces in reducing health inequalities. New developments should prioritize on-site food-growing spaces, with off-site alternatives only where fully justified. Orchards should include local and climate-resilient species with long-term management plans. Biodiversity should be enhanced through ponds, hedgerows, and bee-friendly habitats. Developments must also promote walkability and cycling to ensure accessibility and protect our parish’s rural identity and sustainability.
