Allotments: Horsham

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will publish the (a) allotment disposal application and (b) allotment disposal consent by the Secretary of State for the Ravenscroft Allotments in Horsham.

Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh

Provision of allotments is managed by Local Government. The Department does not currently hold data on the total number of allotments within England or by local authority. Since 4 July 2024, the Secretary of State for Housing Communities and Local Government has issued 10 approvals for the disposal of allotments under the Allotments Act 1925.

Regarding the allotment disposal application for Ravenscroft Allotments, this information is not in the public domain at present so will not be shared at this time. The consent granted by the Secretary of State for the disposal of the allotment is available and in the public domain, I have arranged for a copy of this to be placed in the Library of the House.
