-Would mean the loss of a unique facility for horticultural and leisure users.
Would place additional burden on the local infrastructure, and change the character of the area.
-It will detrimentally affect wildlife.
-Cultivating an allotment is not a hobby that can be picked up and dropped.
-Gardeners invest labour, time and money.
-An establishment allotment is rewarding, but starting again is soul-destroying.
-Allotment gardening is accessible to many people.
-Green exercise leads to positive short and long-term health benefits.
-The loss of this facility will have a detrimental impact on those participating in allotment activity, the community and health.
