Many “allotments” in Central Europe have small cabins or even full-sized houses which are used as part-time residences. Take a look at the “allotments” around Vienna, Austria for example, or most any German city. <br><br>The Vienna allotments don’t seem to fit our wiki definition, but I think they may have started out as allotment gardens years ago and evolved into residential areas over time?<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Jan 8, 2019 at 12:37 AM Paul Allen <<a href="mailto:pla16021@gmail.com">pla16021@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, 7 Jan 2019 at 14:57, Sérgio V. <<a href="mailto:svolk2@hotmail.com" target="_blank">svolk2@hotmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<div>"The allotments=plot tag is used to demarcate an area within an allotment site given over to an individual or group. An allotment site is typically broken up into many of these allotment plots. Define an area within an area tagged as landuse=allotments."</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Allotment plots ARE in use, as gardens/agriculture. An allotment plot is for people who want to</div><div>be able to do some gardening but their residential property does not have a garden. Their plot</div><div>is defined (growing plants). They are in use (most of them). They are not to be built on (although</div><div>the terms may permit a small garden shed). They are not for any purpose other than gardening.</div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><br></div><div>-- <br></div><div>Paul</div><div><br></div></div></div>
