Applying for a Plot

About the Allotments 

 

MSN Allotments consist of 65 plots of varying sizes. The allotments are situated on the south side of Radstock Road opposite the estate of car repair workshops, and 50m west of the recycling. BA3 2AD will get you there.

Anyone living within the borders of Midsomer Norton Town is invited to apply for an allotment. To see if you are in the right area see msn map. Anyone outside of this area cannot be considered for a plot.

To enquire about a plot and to be placed on the waiting list please fill out the contact form below. A member of the team will be in contact when there is a plot available. You will then be met onsite by one of the Committee team to show you around the site and the plot, answer any questions you have an go over the terms and conditions and if you are happy to proceed, sign a tenancy form and discuss rental.

All new allotments holders are given 3 months to cultivate the plot up to 50% and following this grace period the plot must maintain in a cultivated to 75%. A notice period of 4 weeks must be given when you no longer wish to keep the plot.

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.

Plot rentals run from 1st October to 30th September. 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.
