Dear Williams Glesni (A.D.),

Dear Dolly Theis,

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REGULATIONS (Ref. T3255)

Can you please provide the information on and where appropriate copies of
relevant documents of:

1) What land for allotments or growing spaces, both
private and public, have you requested in the last 5 years?

2) From the land requested in the last 5 years, what
land has not been put into use for your residents to grow on?

3) How many planning applications do you currently have
which could be used to make a Section 106 requirement for land to grow on?

4) What targets are in place to increase the use of
Section 106 to provide more land for your residents to grow on?

5) What is currently being done in your borough to
provide alternative land for residents to grow on?

I am writing to confirm that the Council has now completed its search for
the information which you requested. I am aware that the information is
late being sent to you, please accept our apologies for this delay. The
response in regard to your request can be seen below:

1) We are currently discussing with a local association,
the provision of allotments on Council owned land at Glan y Pwll, Blaenau
Ffestiniog. This is the only application we are aware of during the last 5
years.

2) The land is not as yet in use as allotments.

3) No current planning applications where Section 106
agreements could be used, as any 106 must be relevant to the proposal and
none of the present applications refer to a loss of such sites.

4) No such targets are in place.

5) We are not aware of any current projects (other than
(1) above) to provide alternative land for allotments.
