The Saga continues

I have not updated the blog lately as there has not been that much happening. We hit a little bit of a problem with regards to the lease as before we are allowed the lease we need to get to the bottom of whether a shed, greenhouse or poly tunnel requires planning permission.

The local authority planners believe we need planning whilst the NSALG (National Society of Allotments and Leisure Gardeners believe we do not.

I have met with the council's principal planning officer who wants us to obtain planning permission for all structures on the site and she does not support us potentially having a shed or greenhouse on each plot, only on those on the periphery.

I have asked the NSALG for some help in understanding the council's position but it is incredibly frustrating when we have so many enthusiastic people and we cannot actually move forward.
