Hi,
1) Can a fully licensed amateur radio operator, in principle, transmit
from their allotment provided by the local council? Is the allotment technically public space, private space?
2) Can the above mentioned raise a makeshift temporary antenna (let's
say a vertical antenna over a fishing pole or an inverted V) for the
duration of the operation?
I dare not ask the Council as they probably have little clue what
Amateur portable operation is.
Many thanks in advance.

Yes

I am also not sure how you prevent access with the ICNIRP guidelines as
in my experience folks just wander onto our plot...
You don't actually have to prevent access, only stop transmitting if a
member of the public comes writhing the area where the EMF limits are exceeded (if any at ground level).

Will your antenna be confined to just your own allotment or will it
possibly go over others? In which case there may be an issue if the
owner notices.
we were not sure what he should operate as when he got stuck on
the sandbank in the middle (a common occurance in those days) Maybe
'maritime mobile static...

Back in the day when you had to get a separate Maritime Mobile licence
it would have been /MA (maritime at anchor), that suffix confused many
people and was quite rare!

I would never have guessed that allotment tenants could also control the air space above their shed and vegetables.

ISTR that /MM applied in seagoing.
For inland rivers, canals and estuaries, it is /M.

An interesting legal question. But a complaint to the allotment committee or >the allotment's landlord is quite likely to succeed, and the latter >organisations probably do have the power to forbid aerial structures if they >uphold the complaint.

In my plans, this would be a pop-up antenna (either a vertical over a
pole or a makeshift dipole or even an end fed) and it would be confined
to my allotment and then removed after the QS0.
I have no other place to have a QSO over HF. I tried the local park a
couple of years ago and somebody shouted at me thinking I was a
terrorist plotting a bomb. Real story, not making it up.

Not only amateurs, but even we poor DXers get targeted.
I was on a Brit-based Fred Olsen cruise up the South Atlantic a few
years back, using a simple Tecsun PL-380 hand-held rx while lounging
on open deck near the rail, and listening to Conakry/Guinée on 9650.
I was approached by a ship's officer, who gently queried my
activity... and once satisfied it and I were harmless... volunteered
that someone had complained I was fishing over the rail with the
extended antenna!
I kid you not.
Night-time deck loitering on other cruises has brought surreptitious checks... though I appreciate those might have been for suspicion of possible/intended jumping.
