Topic: rent charges

[missy]

Can anyone help.
If land is left under a deed of purpituity for recreational uses
Can it be used for allotments, as alotments come under recreation and leisure?
does that land have to be leased at full commercial value?
if the land is for allotments wouldn't the parish council be obliged to fund or lease the land on behalf of the parish for the people of the parish in order to keep rents within national allotment rent figures?

If anyone could help I would appreciate it.

Thanks

from Missy.

I'm no Lawyer but legal precedents are important.... (Leeds Grammar School Lord Eldon ?1802) it should be.. no reason why rents should reach average as they have no Landlord to pay... we own our own site (1920) and our rents are 1/3rd of the city average... after a 50% increase!

A very useful source of information, particularly legal issues, is the National Society of Allotment and Leisure Gardeners (01536 266576)
Our Town Council, who manage our allotments with the local Association had great advice when in dispute with the District Council over ownership. For a small fee your association could join and get the same.
