	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2021 answer text <p>No national assessment of the provision of allotments in England has been made. Local authorities are responsible for allotment provision in their area.</p><p>The Government recognises through our National Planning Policy Framework the important role that allotments can provide in enabling and supporting healthy lifestyles within our communities. Our National Model Design Code states that as part of open space design for large developments there should be the consideration of allotments and community growing projects for food production, learning and community engagement.</p><p>However, our National Planning Policy Framework is clear that local planning policies should be based on robust and up-to-date assessments of the need for open space and opportunities for new provision, which can include allotments, and their plans should then seek to accommodate this.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 14/09/2021 09:58:41 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
