Allotments

Research

These are the questions we answer during the Research stage.

Answering them wil help us learn more about the Allotments consideration, determine if a data standard is required and whether we know enough to move on to the next stage.

  • Do we understand the lifecycle of a Allotments?

  • Do we understand how the data is created/produced?

  • Where will or should the data be used?

    • Local plans - Allotments are occasionally referenced in local plans, so we think that this consideration feeds into the process of creating a local plan as provisions will need to be met.

  • Who are the statutory consultees for Allotments?

  • Other than the statutory consultees who are the primary users of Allotments? How do we expect them to use Allotments?

  • What are the planning needs for this data?

    LPAs are required to ensure that they provide sufficient allotment provision to meet demand, generally using agreed planning standards (e.g. hectare/1000 population). Statutory allotments will generally be on the proposals map

  • Who are the types of users who might benefit from having access to Allotments data?

  • What are some potential uses of Allotments data?

  • What's the value of adding Allotments data to the platform?

  • From what we have learnt so far are there any risks to making Allotments data available?
