Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Climate, Environment, and Waste

Outcome:

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Purpose: To consider and approve a new Allotment Policy.

Content: That the implementation of the Allotment Policy as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, be approved. The Allotment Policy sets out a formal framework of principles to guide the management of allotments, ensuring consistency and supporting informed decision-making. Once this policy is approved, a long-term Allotment Strategy will be developed. The strategy will outline how SCC allotments will evolve and improve over time, focusing on a clear vision and key priorities. Do nothing. This will mean that a project has been identified as a political priority by the joint administration will not be delivered.  This means allotment sites will continue to vary in quality, with some having better facilities than others.

Date of Decision: February 23, 2026
