Rabbit pie?? lol


That sure is one way to solve the OP's problem.

What type of site is it?. Is it one where the freehold is owned by a company wholly owned by the residents themselves ?, or is the freehold owned by the management company directly?.

What impact does this have? you may ask.

I live in a leasehold flat and much like the op, have various clauses in the lease banning various things such as the keeping of pets, the parking of vans and the exterior drying of washing.

As the freehold is owned by a company wholly-owned in equal parts by each resident, we hav e chosen as a group to agree to ignore some of the restrictions listed in the lease.

Therefore we have washing out to dry, some have vans parked on site, some folks have dogs and/or cats and everyone has an external TV arial (another thing banned in the lease).

We employ the ManCo so they do what WE tell them to.

Watch yourself!

I made a similar suggestion on another thread about pet dog in a flat. The powers that be deleted the post and ticked me off!

I dunno - you try to help people with lateral thinking and..........:(

Thanks, i didn't know it had possibly been misunderstood. I didn't make the suggestion in the first instance. I was simply asking if that was what the person I quoted meant?? As I couldn't see any other explanation in the context of the thread and to be fair, people do eat rabbits (like rabbit or chicken pie) but i thought it would be a bit mean to suggest that with their pet one. There was no offence or serious suggestion intended on my part. Sorry to the OP if any offence was taken.

Have you read the relevant section of the Act? (I am just copy pasting this question at this point)

It has nothing to do with allotments beyond the title of the Act.

Ok I'm confused about why the Allotment Act is even mentioned - but I do know the Allotment Act (its title or content) has no bearing whatsoever - never will - never can - on anyone's flat or house indoors or out.
The Allotments Act is only ever applied to designated land that is owned or leased by a LA for the statutory purpose of providing allotments. NO other land other than land designated as allotments can come under the remit of the Allotment Act. If you can make a successful legal case to the contrary - you will have set a highly unusual legal precedent
Have I read the act? Oh yes...

That's completely incorrect. Not least because that's not what the section quoted states.

No need, the Act is clear and applied as such.

Allow me to doubt that you actually read and understood what was written.

Legal Definition of an allotment: An "allotment garden" is defined in the Allotments Act 1922 as an allotment not exceeding 40 poles (or 1,000 square metres) which is wholly or mainly cultivated by the occupier for the production of fruit or vegetables for consumption by himself and his family, and this definition is common to all the statutes in which the term occurs.


"Statutory" allotment land is land of which the freehold or very long lease is vested in the allotments authority, and which was either originally purchased for allotments or subsequently appropriated for allotment use.

Allow me to suggest I have read the Act - and implement it on a daily basis.

I still doubt it because you have just quoted the definition of an allotment when it has nothing to do with s.12 of the Allotment Act 1950, which is what is being discussed and which has nothing to do specifically with allotments.

It applies to 'any lease' for 'any land'. As clear as can be.

I think the point that Miss Samantha is making is that whilst this may well be the definition of an allotment, section 12 of the Allotment Act itself does not only apply to allotments, as the act specifies "any land".

So whilst you might use this Act to define an allotment garden, the broader Allotment Act is simply a title for the Act and section 12 does actually apply to any land, as stated in the Act itself - and 'any land' includes buildings and interiors.

That's my interpretation of Miss Samantha's interpretation, btw - I have no knowledge of the law!!!

IMHO - s.12 of the Allotment Act 1950 does not apply to land other than land defined as an allotment in that it is owned or leased by an allotments authority (LA) for that purpose but if you believe that it does, then as my daughter would say "good luck with that then"

This is why private (not owned or leased by a Local Authority) allotments are offered no protection under the Act.
