Click on the link Where's my nearest and enter your post code. Plots vary in size from less than 100 square meters to 300 square meters. There are some half plots on some sites for beginners or those who feel that they wouldn't be able to keep on top of a full plot. Plot rental depends upon the size of the plot. An average rental cost would be £20 per year. There is a 50% concession for senior citizens. Not all sites have a water supply. If there is a water supply, a small additional charge is included in the rental charge. The allotment plot is rented on a rolling tenancy. You will not be asked to re apply each year, but will be sent a bill every year until you terminate your tenancy. When you rent a plot you can apply for permission to erect a shed, greenhouse or polytunnel. There are size and color restrictions on what can be erected and these are listed on the permission form. The allotment is let for the purpose of growing fresh produce. This can include vegetables and fruit, but some flowers may also be grown. There are restrictions on some fruit tree rootstock and permission should be sought from the Allotment Office prior to planting. You are allowed to keep up to 6 hens and 8 rabbits on your allotment plot but need to ask permission from the Allotments Office before doing so. There are guidelines that need to be adhered to to ensure proper husbandry. Visit the Animals and Livestock section to see these guidelines. You can assign a co worker as part of your tenancy agreement. All green waste should be composted on the plot. Plot holders are responsible for disposing of non compostable waste from their plot.
