Allotments: South Yorkshire
- Question
- How much land was available for allotments in south Yorkshire, particularly in Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley, in each of the past five years; and how much has been released over that time for agricultural or building purposes and planning and development.
- Answer
-
The Government do not collect information on the availability of allotment land on an annual basis. However, information on the number of statutory allotments was last collected as part of The English Allotment Survey 1997. This recorded a total of 374 hectares of statutory allotments in south Yorkshire. In the past five years approval has been given for the disposal of sites totalling 10 hectares in south Yorkshire.
