Topic: Private Allotment

[villagedefender]

Does anyone rent from a private landlord and not a parish council or local authority?

[derbex]

We rent from the P.C. -but the land belongs to the local lord. Don't know if the P.C. pass the cash onto him.

The allotment I am about to rent is actually part of someones garden.

[greenfingers]

im currently renting a plot which is private ,it doesnt belong to the council it belongs to a group of 27 people and they all own a share ,but nobody owes all of it,share holders pay 7 pound a year and non shareholders pay 14 pound.

[Gadfium]

I believe our plot is non-council owned.

It's a large field that was sub-divided into allotments over 40 years ago.  Or that's what the Secretary said.  Been dug and re-dug ever since.  Cost per annum for a half-plot is £6 inc. water.

I'm trying to get hold of a licence/agreement for the owners.

Our allotments are on Royal Parks land. http://www.paddocks-allotments.org.uk/

"The land was granted by Royal Warrant in the twelfth year of the reign of King George V, on 30 June 1921, for use as allotments by ‘the labouring classes of Hampton Wick and South Teddington’."

Labouring classes in Hampton Wick and Teddington? Ahahaha.

Ours is charity owned land

http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~kester/LowMoorAllotments/welcome.html used to have a copy of theirs - now gone!

But I'm not entirely useless - try a Google on "allotment agreement uk"; throws up lots of examples?

All best - Gavin

Try using the Internet wayback machine to get to old, vanished web pages. This is the last URL from the Low Moor allotments (2004) but I'm not sure where on the site the agreement is. They don't always store 100% of the pages on a site. I use it to get to Marshall's seeds old site!
