Allotments are only available to Borough residents.  Priority for allotment allocation is given to town centre residents. 

Currently there is a 1-3 year waiting list for an allotment plot, dependant on site. All applications will be added to the waiting list and you will be contacted once a plot becomes available. 

Anyone living outside the town centre should contact their local Town/Parish Councils to see if they have allotment plots available. Applications for residents living outside the Borough will not be considered.

Plot Costs

Plots are measured in rods with a cost of £10.50 per rod.

  • Tenancy set-up - £30 one-off fee.
  • Annual Rent is a maximum of £52.50 per year, per plot (depending on plot size).

A 50% reduction in rent is available to anyone the age of 60 and over.

Allotment sites are managed by the StreetScene Allotment Supervisor and nominated site representatives.
