Allotments

Research

Stages

Go back to Allotments summary

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?
