I have an allotment, half a plot. I have a raised bed where I am
growing the few vegetables that I need ...and I left half of my plot
grass.
I have also been told that there is a waiting list and that people on the
waiting list have asked why can't they have my plot.

Hi, Andrew. I was on a waiting list for over 3 years and was desparate to
get a plot. Could you share your allotment with someone else, either a
friend or one of those on the waiting list? That way you could keep your
allotment, keep the council happy, have someone to help you out when you're
on holiday, share the cost of seeds and whatnot, and you wouldn't have any
additional work or water worries. I can't answer your water question - I
have the opposite problem - I need to know what veggies will grow in soggy,
boggy, waterlogged soil (it's finally stopped raining up here but my plot is
still a soggy mess)!

Hope it works out for you.
