We have approximately 160 plots. These consist of mostly full and half plots. A full plot (10 pole) allotment measures approximately 250-300m2 . Half plots (5 pole) are approximately 125-150m2.
As a guide, a tennis court is roughly 200m2.
There is a plot and key deposit. The plot deposit is returnable on leaving the plot in a ‘reasonable’ condition. The key deposit is returnable once all keys have been returned.

Inspections
We carry out plot inspections throughout the year to ensure good use of the site. To ensure you are able to pass the inspections it is recommended that a minimum amount of time is spent working on the plot.
Full plot: 4-8 hours per week.
Half plot: 2-4 hours per week
The allotment MUST be kept in good condition throughout the year so you should allow a small amount of time (a couple of hours minimum) each week for a half plot, especially during the Spring and Summer months to ensure that the small tasks are kept on top of. Little and often is a good mantra. Obviously the larger the plot the more work it takes – start small and work up to a larger plot as you gain more experience. A useful analogy is that of a gym membership – there is no point having one if you are not going to go and use it!
