Respondent: Mrs Karen Jobson
-Would lose an important and unique facility for horticultural and leisure users in our village and the allotments are an innovative approach to community engagement that brings community (i.e. neighbourhood attachment), health and environmental benefits.
-There would be extra burden on the local infrastructure and area's character would be changed.
-Detrimental impact on wildlife.
-Gardeners invest labour and time to establish such productive land.
-An established allotment is manageable and rewarding, but starting again is soul-destroying.
-Allotment users and holders are being picked on as an 'easy target'.
-In 2009 the allotments were not suitable for housing, what has changed?
