Allotment Rent

Rents of allotments are reviewed annually.

In 2023/24, the annual rent for an allotment on a permanent site is £26.80 per 100 sq. yards/84 sq. metres. 

Due to the variation in plot sizes, the rental cost will be supplied when a plot tenancy is offered.

Rent includes water charges, site maintenance and removal of garden waste.

Please note: There is also a £10 key deposit for each site.
