Try all of 'em & see what happens is my best advice. Strictly speaking you should contact the ones who represent your ward but as I don't know where you live I can't advise. Teignbridge District Cllrs from Dawlish wards are: Humprhey Clemens Rosalind Prowse Ted Hockin Graham Price Mary Mugford send to them and copy in the town councillors.
Whilst I am more than happy to tell you what I know about Sainsbury (and Tesco for that matter) for various reason I'm not prepared to go public. Here is my advice for what it is worth.

Perhaps the provision of allotments could be on the wish list of Dawlish Town Council to whichever supermarket ends up building here.
