Researchers from the University of Leicester have used the Freedom of Information Act to carry out a comprehensive national survey of allotment provision
The statistics, which have been published online, demonstrate the huge differences in allotment rents between different local authorities which range from one penny per square metre to 55p/sqm. An average allotment plot is about 250 square metres and costs 15p/sqm.
There was no analysis of plot sizes and so the survey knows nothing about how big the average plot is, and I'd be surprised if it was as big as 10 poles.
