To apply for a plot on our site you must be a minimum of 18 years old.
-
You will be added to our waiting list and once a plot becomes available, you will be invited to a viewing. If you do not accept the plot offered, you will be placed to the bottom of the waiting list until another plot becomes available. Should you reject the offer of 3 plots, you will be removed from the waiting list.
-
All plot holders are subject to signing a tenancy agreement which includes a 3 month probationary period. This is to allow a period for new tenants to demonstrate they can manage a plot. If a tenant decides it is not for them or fail to meet the expected levels of keeping a plot within the probationary period, the outstanding rents period is non refundable. Monies will be retained to cover any costs of restoring the plot to a condition to allow it to be re let).
-
Site rules should be followed at all times, be kind, considerate and courteous to others.
-
Our plot sizes vary from 165sq mtrs up to 600sq mtrs with rents costing between £18 up to £59 per year. This cost includes membership fees for the National Allotment Society and a contribution to the site insurance.

The annual rents run from March to February. Any plots let between these dates will be charged on a pro rata basis.
-
Animals and livestock to be kept on site are strictly prohibited with the exception of up to 4 hens. No cockerels are permitted.

We are a non running water site so water conservation is key and strongly encouraged.
