Allotments
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether local authorities have the power to lease land which they own to allotment societies or co-operatives on long leases in the case of (a) land used as statutory allotments, and (b) other land used for allotment gardens or intended for such use.
- Answer
-
Local authorities lease land to allotment societies or co-operatives on long leases using their general power to dispose of land in Section 123 or 127 of the Local Government Act 1972. The Secretary of State must consent to statutory allotment land being leased for other purposes and to disposals for a tenancy of more than seven years for less than the best consideration that could reasonably be obtained.
