Further to your request under the Freedom of Information Act I am now able to
respond to you as follows:

South Hams District Council does not hold this information about allotments.
These are more usually managed by town and parish councils. If your request
relates to a specific area then I would recommend that you contact the
appropriate local town or parish council for information. A list of these
councils can be found on our website at www.southhams.gov.uk Your Council,
Councillors, Who's who, Parish Clarks

The Council does have six garden plot licences. These are on an annual basis
and can be terminated at any time to enable the Council to deal with the land
in any way it wishes.

If you are dissatisfied with this decision you may complain to the Council,
either to me or through the Council's complaints procedure which is available
on our website www.southhams.gov.uk; or you can contact the office of the
Information Commissioner at this postal address:
