Sefton Council can confirm it has no plans to permit a developer to build houses on Gardner Avenue allotments in Bootle. 

An adjoining landowner contacted the Council expressing an interest in a wider scheme to potentially develop the allotment land with the provision of new allotments near by.

Sefton Council has a duty to consider any expressions of interest developers wish to make but having viewed the early proposals, we can confirm we will not be taking this any further.

Gardener Ave is a ‘statutory allotment’ as defined under the Allotments Act 1922 and is one of Sefton Council’s 14 allotment sites.

Allotment owners and the potential developer will be notified directly about this.
