The Council claim the site is non-statutory, but state that the site was purchased as existing allotments and subject to existing tenancies. Information being sought through the Land Registry. Council wishes to move allotments on to a smaller site to enable a new village hall to be built. Council deny allotments are statutory and state they do not need consent to dispose.
Indications are that the land is statutory and therefore consent required.
