The decision comes after the plans received 200 objections by locals.
Around 600 people have already signed up for the allotments."I'm just very disappointed in North Somerset Council. They totally disregarded all of that and sided with the very wealthy locals."Planning committee member, Stuart McQuillian, the councillor for neighbouring Long Ashton, said: "I have consistently said there is some merit in this application, but that a full planning application is required to assess and address issues such as highways safety and ecology.
"I therefore welcome the unanimous decision by the planning committee today to refuse the request for a certificate of lawful development." Chair of Abbots Leigh Parish Council, Simon Talbot-Ponsonby, added: "The residents of Abbots Leigh and Leigh Woods are very relieved at this decision."
