Please note that the payment of rent does not guarantee possession of the allotment. If terms of tenancy are breached you may be asked to hand your plot back to the control of the Association. Essentially each plot needs to be maintained and cultivated to at least 75%, from time to time the Site Officer will carry out an audit of the site and we operate a red, amber, green system, Green – all good, amber you will be contacted to discuss any concerns, red would indicate breach of contract and potential termination of agreement.
Plot rentals run from 1st October to 30th September and payment is due annually by the end of October each year. If you join after 30 May, then half the annual payment is applicable. The rental varies according to the area. It is one plot per person.
