You need to develop a new plan providing space for this amenity.
I would suggest you don’t move the old allotment site and develop the new site as plan. This would fulfil the requirement.

The requirement for provision of allotments is clear under S.106 as outlined in Table 6.1. The amount is prescribed in Table 6.3 as 0.3 hectares per 1000 as a minimum. This would require over 1 hectare o& new allotment space for Tangmere Hub.
The plan shows 46 plots ( if you count the half plots).
The existing plots in Tangmere are situated behind the Tangmere Museum. There are an existing 42 plots.
These plots are to be re located to the site shown in the plan.
The planners can’t count !
Not compliment with policy.

Increase the number of allotments and gardens in the community by removing the threshold of house numbers.

With the increasing city housing density which is to be welcomed, gardens as a healthy recreation are needed and the provision of allotments in particular needs to be increased possibly with the emphasis on smaller plots to start with more ancillary support building and possibility for social interaction- much as seen in northern Europe, where the resources can be enjoyed for other leisure hours apart from food production.
